THE album of crime jazz,
By Ville Karvinen (Helsinki, Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of Henry Mancini (Audio CD)
As a compilation of Henry Mancini's most known works, this album boasts with such classics as the theme from Pink Panther and the theme from the ancient detective series Peter Gunn. And believe me, these are not performed by some sissy symphony orchestra, but by nostalgic jazz goups guaranteed to bring you that shady, smoky speakeasy feeling.

Classic stuff,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of Henry Mancini (Audio CD)
It's amazing how timeless much of Mancini's work is. This CD has all his best work and more (other composers too) and stays in my permanently acccessible collection and gets played as regularly as any other CD. Essential for anybody's collection with isntantly evocative and scene setting tracks from beginning to end.

Great Memories Too,
By Mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Best of Henry Mancini (Audio CD)
I have been ordering Mancini cds lately because his music brings back a feeling when I was young. My parents had Mancini music on during their dinner parties, cocktail parties and of course everyone was smoking away.....mom and dad had those sterling silver cigarette boxes filled just like they filled the ice bucket! Ha! Remember those times? Anyway, this music puts me back in a time when I was cared for, safe and protected. What's funny is when our 26 year old son came home recently and heard the music for the first time he stopped, listened and said, "I like this music, makes the house feel happy." Yep, that just about sums it up.

Better Than Believable,
By Harmon E. Chamberlin "WSEER4ER4ER4ER4ER4ER4ER... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Best of Henry Mancini (Audio CD)
I had ripped this one on Windows Media together with others and sent them to my daughter, Janis. She called to tell me It was her favorite of the six she received. Then I had to listen to it immediately and learned it is my favorite too. I suggest you will like it.

Best of Henry Mancini,
By Sharon G. Bunge - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Best of Henry Mancini (Audio CD)
Not his new Greatest Hits CD so can get at a good price. "Good works' kind of CD - some of his original movie themes, with other hits like "Raindrops Keep Fallin on my Head" etc. I am a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn, but don't like the distored cutout image of her on the cover...kind of misleadingl.
