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!

I think many folks select instrumental songs based on the arrangements and musicians. Satin Doll which was originally written as an instrumental by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. After becoming a hit, lyrics were added by Johnnie Mercer. No matter who plays Satin Doll, it is a great song. The rock band, Chicago, did an instrumental version in 1974 featuring their outstanding horn section. As I recall, just about every wedding I attended, the band played Satin Doll right after dinner.
