By to Neal Hefti

Of all the accents you ever heard, what’s the first one you think of? Well the one that’s talking to your head, of course. I heard that accent loud and true when I heard that longtime composer of greatness Neal Hefti had passed away. The first record I ever got was a 45 size of the Batman Theme by Neal Hefti from 40 years ago and I still have it and he could have signed that thing too but I waited too long to ask and now it’s too late, and now the echoes in my head are of Neal Hefti and the Batman Theme with a little reverb on it.
