'Pink Panther' and 'Gunn' so full of style!

Great afternoon, people. Wanted wild strong jazz...took the plunge. I listened to the magnificent "cool" mainstream jazz classic, Henry Mancini's 'Pink Panther Theme.' This great composition put a lot of great memories swirling inside me. The music just naturally rocks and the strength of the big saxophone sound and the power of the jazz trumpets is so sparkly and infectious. I especially find the shrewd styling of trumpet guys,Pete and Conti Candoli truly outstanding on this Mancini classic tune. Also, I listened to the engaging and delightfully swingin' 'Theme from Peter Gunn.' The Gunn theme always reminded me a bit of early Stan Kenton with those high-sounding trumpet sheets of sound and exuberant and brilliantly cascading saxes with their creative fiery elegance. This Henry Mancini is a man who could craft real musical gems and WOW...his music still rocks today. The sound of jazz power is a marvelous thing!
