Classic Jonny Quest
"Shorty" Rogers Theme
Scans and content © 2008 by Craig Fuqua

For reasons we're unsure about, a new version of the Jonny Quest theme music was composed by jazz musician "Shorty" Rogers and performed by his band. This version was used on LPs and 45s issued on the Hanna-Barbera Records label in the 1960s.

It's a shame they didn't know how to spell Jonny Quest, or that the band's name was "Shorty" Rogers and His Giants.

In addition to the single below, this version appeared on:
Jonny Quest in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (LP)
Jonny Quest in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (45)
Favorite Songs of Jonny Quest (45)
Golden Cartoons in Song (LP)

And here it is: Jonny Quest Theme by "Shorty" Rogers and His Giants
