Mystery tune - id'ers/ideas wanted...
Hi all, a friend is trying to identify this mystery tune as played by little known UK guitarist Fitzroy Coleman on a British TV show "Hullabaloo" (not the US one of the same name) in 1963. I am stumped - any ideas?
Kinda in the McDonough/Van Eps vein - very pretty!

Although I can't really see a connection the file opens in Windows Media player as 'Night and Day'. Strange.....
Hi Chris, the original downloader wondered if it might be that, so added it in to the mp3 metadata as a working title - but it is not (of course)...
100 views of this post as at now but no suggestions... surely we are not giving up...?
Sounds like "Salty Dog" with a tag
Does indeed. That explains why I found it familiar too but couldn't pin it down.
So it could be an instrumental derived from Salty Dog.
I’d never heard of Fitzroy Coleman but a quick search shows he was Trinidadian and played the jazzy electric guitar solo on The Roaring Lion’s 1946 calypso hit ‘Mary Ann’ .
Hi Kapete, I also thought along similar lines but it starts with a VI chord - initial progression is VI maj - II maj - V - I , so more like "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down" in the bluegrass world - - then it goes IV - IV#dim - I - VI maj // II maj (x2) V (x2), a bit like "Lazy River" but again different, then round again but resolving to I . I also hear a distinctive melody line which is unlike the bluegrass possibilities mentioned. So my feeling is that there is a jazz song out there somewhere that I/we have not figured yet. Somewhere in the "Tangerine" area, but again, not that. Mystery continues, at this end anyway...
I am sure Fitzroy Coleman deserves further detective work - he sounds like a versatile player. There are a small number of videos on youtube - most uploaded by a subscriber called Yeshua Listens, see https://www.youtube.com/c/Yeshuaragbirlistens/videos - worth a look. He is a neat player!
