let us not forget "Jazz Gunn"

can be had with Daktari on a Collectables.

I mentioned both of those in my previous post. Had no idea they were packaged together.

This is giving me a yen to get some Mancini. Which was the Mancini LP with "Green onions" on it?

Green Onions is on "Uniquely Mancini," if I'm not mistaken.

But you REALLY need both volumes of "Peter Gunn," if you don't have them already.

sorry, i didn't realize that was music from "Gunn Number One". I've never heard Mancini's score for that, till now .

I'm just happy to know that Collectibles actually packaged TWO albums I really want together on a SINGLE CD. They usually pair good albums with dogs. Or, two albums that have nothing to do with each other.

Well, I bought "Peter Gunn" on 45 in 1959, and "Mr Lucky" whenever that came out. And really liked them. And every so often, I'd hear something, like "Green onions" or "Pink panther" and think - "Corrrr!" But then I'd think, yeah, but it's that bald middle class suit geezer Henry Man-fuckin'-cini. So that's how I never bought any of his LPs.

But of course, anyone who, with all the tenor players in LA to choose from, picks Plas Johnson, has got to be some kind of genius, isn't it?

Mancini certainly did his share of MOR stuff, but he was also a GREAT film composer, and possibly the only one who led very successful dual careers as a film composer and "easy listening" artist.

And, when he decided to do jazz oriented stuff like Peter Gunn, he was on a par with most of his arranging contemporaries.

So, pick up BOTH volumes of Peter Gunn on RCA as soon as you can.

I really love Shelly Manne's "Daktari" album on Atlantic. This is available on CD and LP, and is a great slice of contortionist jazz exotica.

I've got to get that one.
