For Sunday: Nelson Riddle's "Route 66"

Route_66


This tune (circa 1962) was part of my childhood. I get shivers when I listen to it now: that insouciant little piano motif going on underneath, and that lovely long arch of a string melody, and that wonderful brass interlude that comes in a couple of times, and that funny little trumpet/guitar jazz interlude.

 

 

It’s still the coolest, man.

 

 

You can still get your kicks on Route 66.
