More about this title
About the Composer: Mike Post
Mike Post is a prolific composer and producer whose television themes have become part of the cultural fabric since the 1970s. His work for the small screen demonstrates an instinctive grasp of melody, orchestration, and the kind of hook that lodges itself in a listener's memory after a single hearing. Post's compositions for series like Law and Order, The Rockford Files, and Hill Street Blues showcase his ability to write sophisticated, functional music that serves storytelling while standing on its own as composition.
Why we love this
John Berry's arrangement captures the propulsive energy and harmonic sophistication of the original theme while crafting something that sits beautifully in the jazz ensemble idiom. Your students will immediately recognize this music, which means they're invested from measure one, and the built-in solos give trumpet and alto sax players the chance to shine in a piece your audience will actually know.
What to expect
Sharp, purposeful, and undeniably cool. This arrangement carries the television theme's authoritative punch but translates it into the language of jazz: nimble rhythms, open spaces for improvisation, and that forward-driving momentum that makes you sit up and pay attention.
Who it's for
Jazz ensembles at the intermediate level looking for repertoire with immediate audience appeal and genuine musical substance. Directors seeking a piece that engages students through familiarity while building ensemble cohesion and featuring individual soloists.
How to get the most out of it
- Establish the groove early and keep it steady; the theme's power comes from rhythmic precision, not rushing. Lock the rhythm section in rehearsal before layering the ensemble hits.
- Balance the melody across your saxophone section so the line reads clearly over the accompaniment. This theme needs clarity more than blend.
- Give your soloists room to breathe and find their own voice within the blues changes. The recorded accompaniment can serve as a reference, but encourage them to personalize their interpretations.
How to use it
Perfect for a pops concert, a jazz festival set, or any program where you want a piece that lands with your audience while showcasing what your ensemble can do. It works equally well as a closer or as the kind of crowd-pleaser that transitions energy between contrasting styles.
Skills your students will build
- Recognizing and executing a signature television theme's melodic and harmonic profile
- Trading solos and accompanying soloist colleagues in a structured format
- Balancing textural density in the ensemble versus clarity of the main theme
- Blues progression navigation and swing feel execution
