What Are Your Favorite Instrumental Tunes?

[MaVolta]

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!

SLEEP WALK- Santo & Johnny 1959. One the best instrumentals ever recorded.

@jm2422 - I found a video on YT, Dick Clark’s Saturday Night Beechnut Show. The minute they started playing, I remembered it! I was just a little kid when this came out.

Thanks Volta, Santos three neck steel solo work is absolutely beautiful.

Johnny's chord rhythm is perfect. Not heard or done with most of today's

players. Great chord changes make great songs.That  song is full of them.

Glad you enjoyed it.

It was covered years later by Brian Setzer.
