I have been watching old episodes of Kung Fu (the '70s show not that pathetic '90s spin-off) and loved all of the incidental music. I actually came out with a piano version of the main theme a while back. Here it is but forgive the forced rubato because I actually just played this in realtime after lifting it from the original orchestral recording.
Theme from Kung Fu (http://forums.keyfax.com/user-files/177693-Theme%20from%20Kung%20Fu%20(1970%20series).mp3)
anyhow, I wonder if they (the record companies) will ever bring a compilation score out with the main theme and some of the series music. I loved all of the weird and wonderful harmonies that the composer brought to the scoring table as it were. Very inventive and I really enjoyed how he used very small ensembles. The music still resonates with me after all these years.
