    Such a great episode. Zappa did great in this episode since he was great. Then the very next year, the man Frank Sinatra guest starred on Magnum PI. Back then, that's when shows and movies had real music stars as guest stars. Nowadays we have the same ol' crap; Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Eminem, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Drake, Meek Mill, Big Sean, Nicki Minaj, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, A$AP Ferg, A$AP Rocky, Fetty Wap, Charli XCX, Meghan Trainor, Taylor Swift, Jason Derulo, One Direction, and Maroon 5. It's time to trade in those "artists" for the real artists of music: Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, and Frank Zappa.

      I'm a huge Zappa fan, have all of the official releases, spent way too much money on bootleg albums in the 80s, etc. etc. but I cannot listen to Francesco Zappa.
      Tried a few times. Just couldn't get into it. I know it isn't music composed by Frank Zappa, but maybe because it isn't played by real people it just doesn't have the "eyebrows" on it. Other than that, Zappa is thumbs up!

      It's by Jan Hammer on his Escape from Television or Miami Vice Complete OST.
      TRACK is "The Trial and The Search" 04:33. (Note- the track is a medley. The track you want is somewhere around 02:30)
      Also, the track is also used on a different episode of MV. The title "the search" was featured on an episode where Tubbs was drugged and left for dead by Haitian Voodoo worshippers. The music was feature when Crockett was "searching" for Tubbs. Hence the title.
