Name that tune! (and the band)

Post by sethb » Thu Apr 16, 2020 4:52 pm

I came across some great underscoring in a YouTube clip, and have been unsuccessfully trying to identify the name of the song and the band playing it. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibaXRRzHLDs The tune starts off the clip, and then reappears towards the end as well.

The band sounds suspiciously like Vince Giordano's Nighthawks (great tuba!), but I have no idea what the tune is. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks! SETH

The Shazam app says it’s Hot 7, APM Music.
Then, playing that from the app, sounds identical.

…and here's the YouTube video of that:

Rick --- Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had just about given up hope on this musical puzzle. I'm pretty sure you've nailed it.

I thought you might have been pulling my leg with the "Shazam app" you mentioned. But I Googled it, and darn if there isn't such a thing!! Ain't technology grand?

Thanks again for the quick (and correct) answer and the Shazam tip. SETH
