Description
Yes, this is main theme from the 1979 film Agatha starring Dustin Hoffman and Vanessa Redgrave, and has since become a jazz standard. This could also be performed by a vocalist and has been recorded by Tony Bennett, Lena Horne, Dianne Reeves, and many others. Definitely a change of pace, and a welcome in a concert.
From the recording: Johnny Mandel Conducts the Music of Mandel, featuring the DIVA Jazz Orchestra.
