Topkapi by Jimmy Mcgriff - VitaMusik

ALBUM

Topkapi finds Jimmy McGriff on pre-recorded tracks with a horn section, guitar, bass, drums and a string section. The material was arranged and directed by Fred Norman. The album consists of 12 movie and TV themes with McGriff and "orchestra." The orchestra sounds like Muzak, but McGriff sounds like McGriff. How the two got together is anyone's guess. ~ Michael Erlewine
