Isn't it Crocketts Theme by Jan Hammer? Jane. | |||||
| 856.2 | Yup | BAHTAT::SUMMERFIELDC | Oh no, its a boo... | Mon Jun 17 1991 12:16 | 1 |
| 856.3 | Questions! | CHEFS::BRIGGSR | They use computers don't they? | Tue Jun 18 1991 10:26 | 8 |
Who's Jan Hammer and how would I get a copy of the piece? Is it on an
album? Is this a fair sample of Jan Hammer's work? Is he a guitarist
first and foremost? Is this anything to do with Miami Vice (Crockett?)?
Where have I heard this piece before? Was it a hit? What's the meaning
of life!

Re .3
Jan Hammer is a Jazz/Rock keyboard player, noted for his guitar-like
keyboard style. The track Crockett's Theme is available on the album
Escape from TV, which has other TV themes and pieces of incidental
music he has written. And yes, it is from Miami Vice, and was a hit (I
think).
I haven't got any of his solo albums, but in the past he has played
with The Mahavishnu Orchestra (Avant Garde Jazz Rock) and Al Di Meola
(Jazz Rock Fusion). Electric Rendezvous and Tour De Force are two Al Di
Meola albums featuring Jan Hammer which are worth checking out.
Any more for any more

Yes, the music is "Crockett's Theme" by Jan Hammer and is also
available on a compilation of Miami Vice sountrack music
(called Miami Vice II on MCA records). By the way the series
of albums (Miami Vice I/II/III) are well worth buying/recording
featuring what was an excellent TV soundtrack.
I heard a remix of Crockett's Theme recently artist unknown -
anyone have details ???
