The Flintstones Theme ?
Graham J Ward
play a rather good version of the theme music to The Flintstones
("Flintstones, we're the Flintstones, we're the modern stone age family...")
you get the idea. It was rather good, though perhaps you had to be there.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was a recording available of this tune,
in a be-boppish sort of style. Anyone seen anything like this ?
Cheers,
Graham J Ward

A version of the "The Flintstones Theme" was done by Barry Harris on his
album "Barry Harris - Live At Maybeck Recital Hall Volume 12," (Concord
CCD-4476). It's part of a medley with "It Never Entered My Mind" and
"I Love Lucy."

One of the new new orleans brass bands (Rebirth, or Dirty Dozen)
does a fun version of it. Sorry I don't remember which, or the album.

Rhythm." So, any improvisations on either one of them would be
interchangable. (Quotations from the original melody of either tune in a
solo could be a give-away, but on the other hand, a player could
improvise on these changes and quote either.)

Clark Terry and his Giants with Ed Soph on Drums, Victor Sproles on bass,
and the rest of the band I can't remember off the top of my head, but it
was a quintet recording; it end with the band saying "Yaba-daba-doo".
It's on Vanguard, released in the late 70s; this is the LP. I don't know
if it has been reissued on CD.

There is a swing one by George Barnes.
Actually, in some sense there are many versions of the Flintstones
theme because the chord progression is the same as "I Got Rhythm."

George Barnes plays it on one of his Concord albums. Also,
I think Richie Cole recorded it. It's just rhythm changes.

melody for whatever.
Glenn Lea
One of the new new orleans brass bands (Rebirth, or Dirty Dozen)
does a fun version of it. Sorry I don't remember which, or the album.
It's on the Dirty Dozen's "Mardi Gras in Montreux", done in tandem
with "Hail to the Chief".

The Rebirth (a contemporary New Orleans brass band) has a version
of The Flintstones introducing Hail to the Chief on one of their
cds (sorry, don't have it with me, can't tell you which title).

Back in the mid to late 80's, I saw Barney Kessel jam an amazing version
of the Flintstones theme along with some others at the Montreux Jazz
Festival.

Yes, he did -- I heard it at a musician friend's house in the mid-1970s,
but I have never seen it in a store (nor have I looked for it...).
The tune was done at a breakneck tempo, which was easy enough for
seasoned musicians since it's just Rhythm changes. The other
horn was (if I remember right) a terrific bass clarinetist, who
the album notes stated was an amateur musician whose real job was
something like, umm, oral surgery or whatever.
I have a guitarist colleague I've occasionally mentioned who calls
this tune frequently when somebody suggests doing Rhythm changes.
It was written by (?) Tal Farlow or (?) Barney Kessel or some such
guitarist, so a lot of people know it and play it.

George Howell
James Morrison, Australian Trumpet, Trombone, etc. player
an his brother John, drummer, released an album in the 1980s
which included a version of the Filntstones theme.
CD is titled James Morrison at the Winery. The Morrison Brothers
Big Bad Band recorded live at the Rothberry Estate winery in the
Hunter Valley, a wine growing area, a few hours drive Northwest
of Sydney. CD is on ABC Jazz, through PolyGram Aust. Cat No. 836 374-2.
A great big-band which incleded some of Sydney's best jazz musicians.

Aaron S. Friedman
just got it from a friend, and I'm not sure where to get it...It's mostly a
brass feature, lots of solos and dueling soloists. Words and Music by
William Hanna (BMI), Joseph Barbera (BMI), and Hoyt Curtin (BMI). The
arrangement is by Dave Barduhn, copyright 1985 Barbera-Hanna Music (BMI).
If you've got a big band at your disposal, it's worth picking up.
Conrad V Frelichowski
Has anyone heard Dennis DeBlasio's version of the theme song? Has anyone
here ever heard of Dennis? He's a popular clinician and former bari sax
player with Maynard Ferguson. Anyway, its cool man, and on his album
"Playing in the Yard."

any of'em, except a compilation called "New Orleans Brass Bands - Down Yonder"
(Rounder, 11562). It is a mix of ReBirth, Dejan's Olympia, The Chosen Few and The
Dirty Dozen. It's the Dirty Dozen who do the "(meet) The Flintstones".

impressed by his melodic sense and great chops. His only cd is a
dissapointment, without any consistent style and too eager to please, but
he is definitely a talented musician! His ballad playing was
particularly memorable.

That would be an early-80s album from the Ohio State University Jazz
Ensemble called something like "Music to Clean the Garage By". The
composition/arrangement was by trombonist John Fedchock (who I just
talked to at the IAJE convention this last weekend).
John graduated and then went on to join the Woody Herman band, eventually
becoming their primary arranger/composer. He also played a bit with the
Gerry Mulligan big band, and now he has his own big band in New York City.
The last couple of years he's also been on the trombone faculty of the Jamey
Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshops.

George Benson did a bebop rendition of the song, unfortunately that is
as much as I know about the recording.

: Clark Terry has a nice version of Meet the Flintstones on his "Having
: Fun" CD (Delos). INcludes Red Holloway, Major Holley, John Campbell,
: Lewis Nash and Bunky Green. Also has Kermit's "It isn't easy being

Believe it or not, Buddy Rich did a cover of this. He sang the tune on
one of his mid-70s releases.

and they call it The Flinstones meet the President. This song is on their
album titled The Dirty Brass Band Live: Mardi Gras in Montreux. This is on
the Rounder records label # 2052 in 1986.

A teacher once told me that even though the tune was attributed to
Hanna and Barbera, it was actually written by Clark Terry. Can anyone
confirm this?
