The Carpetbaggers Theme - Jimmy Smith


When I was growing up The Money Programme would be on the family TV every Sunday evening (for the benefit of readers under the age of 30, in those days most households only had one TV...and this was a good 20 years before the internet, imagine that eh?). Being a kid I didn't have any money, so a programme about the stuff wasn't of much interest but I did like the theme tune. It's only recently that I discovered it was featured on an album by jazz organ legend Jimmy Smith (or at least the beginning bit was) and it still sounds as cool as a deep frozen cucumber.
