2769 B. Bumble & the Stingers - Bumble Boogie

From: Nut Rocker, Bumble Boogie, Apple Knocker and All the Classics; Year: 1995 (1961); Genre: Rock 'N Roll/Classical

This one's been on my mind for about a week now, so I'm picking it. It's a rather interesting piece outside of being a rock n' roll rendition of a swing jazz arrangement of the well-known classical piece, "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. This was actually the first version of Flight of the Bumblebee I ever heard; it was on one of my Dad's many instrumental/super hits records.
Session musicians actually performed this piece only on: piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Apparently the only instrument that was doubled up was the piano; one being a standard grand playing chords/rhythm and the other being modified with tacks on the hammers to make a much sharper and distinct attack for the main lead line.
