I found this trio of songs by
Don Gillis(not
this Don Gillis) on an old
CBC Radio compilation. The internet wasn't much help, so I'll quote
the liner notes:
"Don Gillis has been an active arranger and
noted jazz pianist in the Toronto area for the last five years and
has just recently completed the original score for the Canadian
feature length movie
"Recommendation For Mercy".
He is also arranger/musical director for
Catherine McKinnon."
All three of these songs arevery mid-'70s lite-funk numbers, with
pretty good brass arrangements and lots of wah-wah guitar, although
they're definitely polite enough to be the creation of someone who
also scored episodes of "Road To Avonlea". Dig the
jive-talkin' at the end of "Lady Marmalade".
