Anyone know name of beautiful piano music in The Venetian Affair (1967) ?

Hi.  Recently watched the 1967 Robert Vaughn, Ed Asner spy movie called The Venetian Affair.  Starting at about minute 26 into the movie there is beautiful, slow blues/jazz piano music playing in the background while Vaughn has a discussion in a female's apartment.  Unfortunately, this music is not mentioned in the movie credits.  Does anyone know what piano music this is?

I'm sure it's a piece that Lalo Schifrin composed for the film. If can you find the soundtrack cd, the title is no doubt listed on that.

Great website, thanks for providing that.

I seem to have stumbled on a mini-gold mine.  There's a wealth of information and discussion of film scores, plus a selection of hundreds of movie and TV music CDs from all sorts of famous and obscure movies.
