RCA, 1968. Very Good ... $5.99
Nice 60s crime jazz from Mancini! Although Mancini's fame was made in the late 50s for his work on the classic Peter Gunn TV show, it's less known that he also did the score for the less-than-successful Peter Gunn film. Directed in 1967 by Blake Edwards, the film was a weak attempt to transfer ... (Soundtracks) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo Dynagroove pressing.)
RCA, 1962. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Mancini's light lilting groovy score to this flop of a film by Howard Hawks! Again, the score is better remembered than the film – probably because it gave the world the great cut "Baby Elephant Walk", a goofy little number that still gets churned up a lot today. There's lots of ... (Soundtracks) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has bent corners and a date in pen.)
RCA, 1965. Near Mint- ... $9.99
The Latin sound is a groovy sound too – thanks to some great arrangements from the legendary Henry Mancini! The album's less a straight Latin date than it is a new approach to the grooves Mancini was laying down on his 60s soundtracks – a mix of bossa and cha cha-inspired themes that ...

RCA, 1962. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Henry Mancini's second album of stuff for the Peter Gunn TV show, and arguably better than the first one! The album's straight-ahead crime jazz – performed by a great set of players that includes Plas Johnson, Shelly Manne, Ted Nash, Paul Horn, and other west coasters. Tracks include "M ...

RCA, 1959. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A classic! This is the record that made Mancini's career, and forever transformed the face of crime and jazz. The record's a stunning batch of instrumentals, played by a crack group of west coast players who also performed regularly in the TV show. Titles include the classic "Peter ...

RCA, 1975. Very Good+ ... $5.99 7.99
One of Henry Mancini's grooviest LPs from the 70s – a mixture of tight large arrangements with a smooth funky edge, similar to some of his best soundtrack work at the time! The rhythm section is great – with Harvey Mason on drums and Joe Sample on keyboards, and guitar by David T ... (Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

That's Neal Fox and Gus Mancini – serving up a pretty cool set here that featuresd lots of keyboards, bass, guitar, and flute from Fox – and alto, guitar, bass, and "electric sax" from Mancini! There's vocals on most tracks – and the set has a groovy vibe that's in ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Harvey Mandel —
Baby Batter ... CD BGO (UK), 1971. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A classic bit of funky guitar by Harvey Mandel – similar to some of Dennis Coffey's early work in that it's got full on guitar power, very much inspired by heavy rock, filtered through an approach that's also got plenty of funk in it! The killer track here is the classic "Baby ... (Jazz) read more CD

Vanguard, 1978. Sealed ... $7.99
Sweet jazzy keys from Mike Mandel – grooving here in a fuller jazz funk mode that's a bit like the best work of the 70s on Kudu Records!

Future Groove/Rush Hour (Netherlands), 1982. New Copy ... $7.99 18.99
A rare space funk treasure from the legendary Mandre – the man who'd given the world three great clubby albums on Motown, then retreated to the indie label scene for this much more obscure fourth record! All the great Mandre elements are in place here, but presented with a more stripped-down ... (Soul) read more CD
Arista, 1977. Near Mint- ... $14.99
