Various Artists - TV’s Jazziest Theme Songs, 1957-1993 (A MIKE SOLOF GUEST POST)

It's time for another Mike Solof guest post. This one has a rather unusual theme. It turns out Mike is a big fan of TV show theme songs, especially jazzy instrumental ones from decades ago. So he put together a collection of about 30 of his favorites.

As usual, Mike has written his own notes, which is included as a PDF file. It comes with lots of photos as well. So I recommend you read that to learn more.

This album is an hour and 15 minutes long.

At first, I didn't know what to depict for the cover of this album. But I noticed that Mike had put in a couple dozen pictures of different images for these sorts of TV shows. So I picked out 16 of them and made a collage.
