News from The Associated Press: "LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Neal Hefti, a Big Band trumpeter, arranger and composer of themes for the movie 'The Odd Couple' and the 'Batman' television series, has died. He was 85."
Quincy Jones did some fine charts for the Basie Orchestra, but only Benny Carter was ever consistently better than Hefti, and not much so...it was his bag (sorry).
