Most interesting frog, I don't recall hearing Farrell pre RTF. But I have a couple of those as well as one or two of his CTI albums.
As an aside, it is interesting with the several law suits in popular music for one composer or artist lifting an intro/theme/riff/whatever from another these days, it is a fairly common practice in jazz. In fact it happens so often it can become a parlor game to identify all the other music references a soloist may include in their turn.
And not just jazz on jazz or jazz on pop. It happens with classical music too, as in Corea's "Spain". Of course Albeniz has been dead too long to come after any of the jazz musicians who adapted some or all of "Concierto de Aranjuez". ;^) Second movement, go to 7:25 -
