There's a great old Mancini album from the fifties, called "Music from Peter Gunn." That is, he didn't just write the theme, but I think he scored the whole series. Mancini also did the music for another short-lived show, "Mr. Lucky," another spin-off by Blake Edwards -- I had that album, too. Great stuff.




Yes, Mancini is in the credits as producing it all. Herb Ellis is mentioned sometimes in the credits but that's the only name I recognize. Might not be the same Herb Ellis but there is alway a guitar player in the group. Haven't been able to get a good look at him.

They use the old Beatnik talk like "crazy man", "dig", "way out."

It's weird to see into America just before Rock and Roll took over.
