Remember how strikingly contemporary it seemed when MIAMI VICE used Phil Collins and Glenn Frey on its soundtrack, or years later when the producers of GILMORE GIRLS and THE O.C. showcased young indie bands on their shows? Well, it was just that revolutionary in 1958 when Blake Edwards, producer of the otherwise fairly standard detective show PETER GUNN, tapped the young composer Henry Mancini to write a soundtrack informed by the West Coast-style cool jazz of Dave Brubeck and Chet Baker. The soundtrack album for PETER GUNN may be best known for the cool twang guitar riff of the main theme (later lifted wholesale by the B-52's for "Planet Claire," among others who recognized its forbidding cool), but this is his most jazz-influenced soundtrack work. There's some particularly impressive work by drummer Shelly Manne and vibes player Victor Feldman, whose cool, understated playing seems to deliberately recall that of Milt Jackson.

Original score composed by Henry Mancini.

Composer: Henry Mancini.Q (2/00, p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Classic soundtracking from the one-time easy-listening pianist. Peter Gunn throws big jazzy proto-Pink Panther shapes..."

Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Cool Shots From "Peter Gunn"
This is some of Mancini's best work, and the epitome of the Mancini sound. Band roster includes top jazzmen Pete Candoli, Paul Horn, John Williams, Shelly Manne. Goes well with companion album "More Music From Peter Gunn."

5 stars Swinging cool jazz
Nice, gently swinging cool jazz numbers. Great easy listening. Duane Eddy did a storming rock cover version of the title track.

4 stars Peter Gunn - the definitive Mancini soundtrack
If you are a fan of the Peter Gunn theme, whch has a decidely rock-feel to it (it's actually a rock tempo, not jazz) then the rest of this recording may or may not be to your liking. The marriage of 'cool' with the driving excitement of a big band was an overwhelming success and marked the beginning of a decade of jazz-tinged film and TV work that came from Hollywood. Mancini chose the west coast 'cool' sound because it supported the story: Gunn himself was featured hanging out at jazz club called Mother's. According to Will Friedwald, the author of the liner-notes on the re-issue, this recording "can not be described as anything other than orchestral jazz of the highest caliber". Mancini stocked this orchestra with some of the finest jazz and studio players available, including Pete Candoli and Conrad Gozzo on trumpet, Barney Kessel on guitar, tenor saxist Ted Nash, and on piano Johny T. Williams, later to become Hollywood's most prolific sountrack composer. L.A. drummer Jack Sperling handled all the drum charts on the original release (Shelley Manne only appears on the re-issue on the bonus tracks). Other veterans of note to jazz buffs would include Plas Johnson, Victor Feldman, Al Stoller, and Larry Bunker. Recorded in Hollywood in August and September 1958, the charts feature strong walking bass and drum patterns, crisp ensemble brass work, and beautiful solo work, esepcially from the reed players. My favorites include Fallout!, The Floater, and Blues For Mother's. But the best track is still the theme. Buy it just for that and consider the rest to be a fabulous bonus. If you like this, More Music From Peter Gunn is great, too.
