Bullitt Suite

Forgive me if you will, if I already posted this link before. Though I am classically trained on the piano Lalo Schifrin nails this score. It speaks to me every time I listen. He replicates the sounds of car horns magnificently in the Shifting Gears section that played on the follow before the chase. The trumpets sound like car horns from that era. The man is totally brilliant!

Lalo Schifrin composed some of the coolest soundtracks in the 60's & 70's and I love his work! The bass line in Bullitt is what I usually use as a warm-up before playing. Very few people can identify where that riff originated, but when they do it's very cool! ~Kevin

I'd like to hear you play it some time.

It's quite repetitive and doesn't really stand out on it's own, but it works well setting a groove for other players to come in and jam with. Many times the other band members (guitar, sax, etc.) were unaware of the original Bullitt theme song and it was really interesting to see what kind of melody they would lay on top of that bass track. Just something to have fun with!
