I loved this man's work!! Saturday morning cartoons were our introduction to real, honest-to-God, straight ahead jazz, and we didn't even realize it!
In high school, when vocal jazz was huge, there was an arrangement of the Flintstones that everyone did. The same arrangement was re-set for vocal jazz ensemble, stage band, even drum and bugle corps.
My personal favorite, though, was Top Cat. Not only great theme music, but TC taught the post-rat pack generation what is meant to be hip.
