Is anyone familiar with the piano solo in the middle of Lalo Schifrin's "Mission Impossible?"  I'm the kind of person who likes to sight read things, so if anyone has this solo written down, that would be even more helpful.

There's sheet music for this tune out there -- one source is one of those "TV Hit Theme Songs 1984-1985" books, mutatis mutandis.  I enjoyed playing this as a child -- quite a little LH workout.  Good practice for boogie-woogie.  I don't know if the printed music has the solo you're talking about, though.

Thanks for the reply.  And yes, I am familiar with the sheet music you have mentioned and it does not have that solo.  The solo I heard in the recording, I believe, is the pianist's improvisation, and therefore needs transcription. I was just hoping someone might have done the transcription, and happened to have a copy. It's a long shot.
