Mr Lucky/My Friend Adamo/Softly/March Of The Cue Balls/Lightly Latin/Tipsy/Floating Pad/One Eyed Cat/Night Flower/Chime Time/Blue Satin/That’s It & That’s All

Fresh from his success with the chart topping Peter Gunn LP Henry Mancini consolidated his place as the premier music arranger with Music From Mr Lucky. It was awarded a Grammy for best instrumental album. (US:2)

“I am a Henry Mancini fan. The music is relaxing and on the jazzy side.”

“The music was creative at the time, relaxing, and enjoyable. He used a variety of instruments in creative ways.”

“This is a jazz classic. With Mr. Lucky, you get a good idea of the musicianship of Henry Mancini.”

“I was a fan of Mr. Lucky when it was on TV, but the best thing about it was the music.”

“This album is smooth and upbeat with a great Latin kick. It shows another side of the genius of the composer.”

“From the popular TV series, this music is timeless, great for the car or anywhere. I love his music anywhere, anytime.”

“Unfortunately Mancini is probably going out of style for the younger generation, which is a shame as his music is good and definitely has his unique stamp upon it. I grew up watching Mr. Lucky so this LP is filled not only with good music but happy memories.”

“Henry Mancini tried for something similar to Peter Gunn in his music for this TV series, but didn't quite succeed. This music is moody and occasionally interesting, but nowhere near as driving as the other.”
