Cairo Blues - Lil' Son Jackson

Talk about period instrumentals. Herb Alpert based his then-new record label on the concept of a two-minute pop tune inspired by a visit to a bull fight. We like this one, as it's one of the shorter ones (91 seconds!) from an era when the pop tune was still under three minutes.
