yes, yes, I know its not a very diverse collection of
Artists...I could probably add Miles Davis and George
Gerswin to the list.

So what are your all time favorite instrumentals of
the 20th century???

Where are Midnight in Moscow, that drum piece from the late 50s/early
60s, Telstar, and Yackety Sax?

"walk-don't run" by the Ventures is another good instrumental.

        Hocus Pocus by Focus.  Okay, it's got some yodeling in it.

While listening to Definitely Not The Opera on CBC Radio earlier this 
afternoon, I was surprised to hear an instrumental track from Halifax
hip-hop artist Buck 65, titled "Track 5."  I would not consider it a
hip-hop track, as it seemed to feature an elven chant of some sort.

Fight of the Cosmic Hippo by Bela Fleck.  I also enjoyed Victor's Bass solo
on Live art.
