Persistent earworm alert CCCVIII

I've only heard Jack Walrath's instrumental, "Children," on the radio once, but it has stayed in my mind for decades.  KWMU played it on "Miles Beyond: Jazz 'Til Dawn" in the late '80s, and it has sprung to mind at unexpected times since then.  The tune's central theme for the first minute and four seconds is nearly impossible to forget once you hear it.  If I heard any wind or brass player warming up with it, I'd think, "That musician has esoterically good taste--and that first minute and change of the melody will now crowd out any other songs in my mind for the rest of the day."
