What Are Your Favorite Instrumentals?*

A Swingin' Safari by Bert Kaempfert from 1962

 

Geez, so many cool instrumentals .
I'll step outside of rock and mention "A Trumpeter's Lullaby" by Leroy Anderson.
Such a delicate, beautiful trumpet line .

 

Instrumentals are my favorite.

a lot of possible choices. I could serial bomb the thread.

Maybe I'll do it "over time".

lol

Good idea.

Let me begin with Little Feat's marvellous jazzy romp Day At The Dog Races. The studio version from Time Loves A Hero does it for me just fine.


Many more to come ...

Depeche Mode - Agent Orange

 

Have you heard this one? Love it.
Lounge Lizards - 02-Harlem Nocturne

 

There's a reason why they edited it down from this longer version…(cough)…sorry Keith - guitar solo adds nothing...
Rolling Stones - 2120 South Michigan Avenue

 

Most Definitely.... More than a few though.

 

Don't know if this is considered a instrumental or a solo....

 

Steve Howe is great.

 

Al Hirt named this song perfectly. After finishing my morning cup of Java, or 2, I feel just like this song!

 

Amen to all those!

 

This demo version from the What A Whopper! comp, not the single version.

 

'Restless/Shake Up' by the Cobras (incl. Steve Cropper & Duck Dunn)


The Cobras - Shake Up - 1964 Instrumental - Steve Cropper - Stax R
