G: TL;DR:
Here’s a tight, no-lyrics, daytime-energy Thanksgiving-adjacent instrumental set you can drop straight into Spotify (or seed Radio with). Big Band + Orchestral + Light Groove, zero vocals, no sleepy café-core.

Direct “Seed This for Radio” Options

These tracks reliably generate the right Radio mix on Spotify:

• “Sing, Sing, Sing” – Benny Goodman (Instrumental)
• “Take the ‘A’ Train” – Duke Ellington
• “In the Mood” – Glenn Miller
• “Flight of the Bumblebee” – Rimsky-Korsakov (fast orchestral seed)
• “Hoe-Down” from Rodeo – Copland (American, energetic, no lyrics)
• “The Typewriter” – Leroy Anderson (playful daytime energy)

Any of those will produce a mostly-instrumental, energetic Radio.

Japanese inline (1):
元気（げんき）な 音楽（おんがく）が ほしい — “I want energetic music.”

If you want a ready-made playlist name / structure

I can draft you a clean playlist in the following format:

Thanksgiving Instrumental Day Mix — Energy Tier 6/10
(Big Band → Orchestral → Light Jazz → Film Score “lift” → Swing outro)

Say the word and I’ll spit out the exact track list in order.

No questions needed; just tell me if you want the playlist arranged.

G: Got it. More Big Band / Swing / Jazz Orchestra, less concert-hall classical, still instrumental, still daytime energy.

Here’s a clean, Spotify-friendly set focused on swing, brass, charts, and groove rather than symphonies.
(Short, direct, no filler.)

• The Metropole Orkest — “Snarky Puppy: Lingus (Orchestra Version)” (instrumental)
• WDR Big Band — “Caravan” (Instrumental)

Spotify Radio Seeds (Big Band-leaning only)

If you want to start a Radio instead of curating:

• “One O’Clock Jump” – Count Basie
• “Leap Frog” – Les Brown
• “Hunting Wabbits” – Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band
• “Soul Bossa Nova” – Quincy Jones
• “Flying Home” – Lionel Hampton

Those seeds avoid drifting into classical and keep the station in the brass-driven lane.

If you want, I can order these into a ready-to-drop Thanksgiving playlist with a clean structure (start strong → settle into groove → lift again → finish warm).
