Our Man In Hollywood – HENRY MANCINI****

Days Of Wine & Roses/Walk On The Wild Side/The Wonderful World Of Brothers Grimm/Mutiny On The Bounty/Mr Hobbs Theme/Seventy Six Trombones/Phaedra/Bachelor In Paradise/Too Little Time/Drink More Milk/The Wishing Star/Dreamsville

Our Man In Hollywood showcases Henry Mancini's supreme talent as a composer, arranger and conductor of movie themes. Both his craft, and distinctive movie themes, seem to have now disappeared. (US:12)

"This release is one of Mr. Mancini's best. Having the chance to own it is a must for any Mancini fan."

"This album is some Mancini, some others, all wonderful arrangements, with killer versions of A Walk On The Wild Side and Seventy-Six Trombones."

"It was first released in 1963, and captures that era exceptionally well."

"Today it seems that this music was composed by someone from another planet."

"America used to be so classy in its songs, movies, etc. Where has it all gone?"

"Our Man In Hollywood is one of the best Mancini albums I have heard and I have heard many."

Too Little Time is the ultimate melody and perfect for trombone."

“What a hauntingly lovely piece of music is Days Of Wine & Roses, the music and lyrics capture the emotion of the film."

“Mancini wrote some of the most beautiful themes of all time."
