From the Boyhood Memories File

From the Los Angeles Times:

Neal Hefti, a former big band trumpeter, arranger and composer who worked with Count Basie and Woody Herman and later composed the memorable themes for the movie “The Odd Couple” and the campy hit TV series “Batman,” has died. He was 85.

Of course, now that I've posted this bit of obituary, I can't get the Batman theme out of my head.
