Peter Gunn was the first television series to use jazz motifs throughout the entire show. Up until that point, shows would have opening and closing themes, and 'word from our sponsors' breaks, but Edwards and Mancini really weaved the entire score throughout the show.

I have the The Music From Peter Gunn album with bonus tracks. It's a great album. It's also available on CD. Doesn't have Henry Mancini on it, I don't think, but it's great album.

Mundell Lowe also did an album called 'TV Action Jazz', and if you can find that, I highly recommend it.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
