I  remember his show. It was called "The Mark of Jazz." Did he use 
Maynard  Ferguson's version of Frame for the Blues? It was somebody's 
theme during  that period. I had a job working in a men's clothing store 
a few blocks  from my house in Camden, NJ. The radio in the store was set 
to WHAT so I  heard lots of Sid Mark.
I believe his 4pm theme was "Theme for the Blues." Then at 5pm he did the  
Shorty Rogers composition called "Maynard Ferguson," played by Kenton, a  fiery 
feature for Maynard..For many reasons, Maynard was a much more agile and  
interesting soloist as a younger man.
 
At some time during the mid-late 60s, someone (maybe Slide Hampton) wrote a  
number called "The Mark of Jazz," hoping it would displace the regular theme,  
but it didn't take hold.
