Back in November I posted a B List plugging 13 of my favorite instrumentals. This week, we revisit that concept — here are 13 more great ones to debate. I tried to be a little more obscure with this list, so check out these nuggets:

1. Groove Holmes - The Beastie Boys: This great Beasties tribute to acid-jazz legend Richard “Groove” Holmes was featured on 1992’s Check Your Head.

2. Freeway Jam - Jeff Beck: Jeff Beck solos over Max Middleton’s funky keyboards on one of the best tracks from 1975’s Blow By Blow.

3. Moti Mo - Medeski, Martin, and Wood: I get chills every time I hear MMW’s arrangement of this King Sunny Ade track. Chris Wood lays down a solid bass line, allowing John Medeski, Billy Martin and the horns a chance to build the theme to multiple climaxes. Just like a woman.

4. Star Wars Theme Song - Meco: Also Sprach Zarathrustra wasn’t the only symphonic song to get the disco treatment in the late ’70s. Meco Menardo, a famous music producer, attended the Star Wars premiere and was so impressed he rushed into the studio to make a dance version of John Williams’ theme song.

5. The Happy Organ - Dave “Baby” Cortez : Cortez entered a studio in 1959 to record a song called “The Cat and the Dog.” He was struggling with his voice and decided to just jam out with his band on an old standard called Shortin’ Bread. The recording engineer pressed record as Cortez turned the song into one of the first funky grooves. The rest is history: The improvised song that was recorded in one take hit number one upon its release.

Read on for eight additional instrumental classics from The Commodores, Santana, Joe Satriani, Tea Leaf Green and more…

6. Mountain Jam - Allman Brothers Band: A band known for long jams, Mountain Jam is definitely the Allmans’ longest and jammiest. In 1970, Duane Allman sat in with the Grateful Dead for a few bars of Donavan’s First There Is A Mountain. Allman was so enthralled with the tune he took it back to his band and used the theme for the basis of a jam featuring every member of the ensemble (and even guests) getting a solo.

7. Summer Song - Joe Satriani: One of the better music trends of the early ’90s was the emergence of the instrumental rock guitarists, like Satch, Eric Johnson and Kenny Wayne Sheppard. Summer Song is Satriani’s most successful song hitting the pop charts and finding its way into a Sony commercial.

8. Bliss - Phish: The popular rock band Phish had a nice tradition of including an instrumental track on most of their albums. Bliss, from the 1996 album Billy Breathes, combines a number of open-tuned guitars ringing out against each other to create an aural orgasm of sounds.

9. Walk Don’t Run - The Ventures: The Surf Music Invasion of the late ’50s is one of the best sources for great instrumental tracks. The best of these tracks is Walk Don’t Run by Seattle’s The Ventures.

10. Machine Gun - The Commodores: Sadly, The Commodores are best known for Lionel Richie’s cheesy classics Easy and Three Times A Lady, instead of the groove wonderland the band took us to on their debut release. The title track of Machine Gun could be the boss funk track of all-time.

11. Franz Hanzerbeak - Tea Leaf Green: Franz Hanzerbeak shows all the instrumental strengths of San Francisco’s Tea Leaf Green. It is no wonder the band led their first podcast with a blistering version of this rock epic.

12. Gypsy Queen - Santana: Gypsy Queen is the Third Stone From The Sun-sounding segment that follows every version of Santana’s Black Magic Woman you’ve ever heard. The track is brief on the record, but in concert Santana uses the piece as a raw display of his ridiculous guitar talent.

13. Red - King Crimson: Thirty-three years after this tune was first recorded, Red stands as Robert Fripp’s masterpiece. King Crimson was experiencing lots of turmoil during the recording of the song, creating a dark and powerful vibe that comes through clear on the record.
