Alongside these cuts, interpretations of Mancini’s music for the series from Ted Nash, Maxwell Davis, and from Pete Candoli are included. Candoli had performed on the original albums, and went on to release his own versions of the tracks on this collection.
By way of bonus material, Duane Eddy’s celebrated version of the theme tuneis also included, along with other alternativerecordings of this iconic piece by legendary saxophonist King Curtis, smooth guitarist Mundell Lowe and jazz trombonist Buddy Morrow.
In all, 2 discs and 49 tracks of modern but eminently listenablejazz that can take the listener back to the late-1950s and early-1960s when Mancini was discovering how far his considerable talent could take him and his audience, and equally provide a brand new sonic experience that sounds as relevant today as when first released.
