What Are Your Favorite Instrumental Tunes?

The subject of instrumentals came up in another thread, so I thought it might be fun to see what instrumental tunes everyone enjoys. Instrumentals cover a wide range of genres when you start to think about it; classical (of course), movie soundtracks, pop, jazz, big band oldies, blues, country, rock, and many instrumental versions of your favorite song titles, too.

 

So what instrumental music do you like? What are your favorite tunes or instrumental versions of your favorite songs? Multiple tunes and multiple genres are okay. And, if you have favorite on youtube, feel free to post the link so that we can listen, too!

One Last Look Around the House Before We Go (Kate Bush):  it has no lyrics, it's half as long as a typical song, but it's heartbreaking just the same

Thanks Volta: I used to do a club gig years ago. We used to do that tune.
Bring the house down. Everybody on the floor booties shakin'. Too much fun.
I love it.
