Was noticin the jazzy theme music from the odd couple, but not the usual part, the parts that play as they come back from the commercial break, the lead in's, by...Neal Hefti
and Bob James for "Angela", the theme from Taxi.
So I looked these guys up on wikipedia and turns out Bob James played for Creed Taylor(CTI) and even made a few records with Stanley Turrentine and some other CTI artists, said he was one of the father's of smooth jazz, which some derogatorily refer to as lounge music... but which I find quite nice.
Interestingly enough, Neal Hefti also did the film score for the movie "Synanon" !!!
