The Cat - Jimmy Smith/Lalo Schifrin - solo guitar - Jake Reichbart

[Jake Reichbart]

Check out my latest arrangement, "The Cat" written and performed by Lalo Schifrin for the movie Once A Thief (1965) and also popularized by Jimmy Smith. This arrangement upload was a spontaneous decision as yesterday I stumbled on this theme online after not having heard it for probably 40+ years and I got excited! In truth, I should probably have spent more time with it and develop the solo section in particular but like a child I was too impatient. I'm 100% sure I'll play it better at the gig tonight... Thanks for tuning in! Jake

That was funky!

Don't know the tune, now I'm curious about it.

Excellent, I have 10 or more Jimmy Smith cds, but none have this great tune.

Thanks! It's off the album of the same name with big band arrangements by Lalo Schifrin, although I personally like the actual Lalo Schifrin from the movie "once a thief" better, a bit more chill, but both are great!
