russ69 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Henry Mancini, one of my standards from the 60s? Geeze it still sounds good. Anybody else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 He is played often at my place. You are right, it does still sound good. Mancini albums show up often on the "Right This Minute" thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Guba Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Big Latin Band is great. Also good is Uniquely Mancini, check out Cheers, and of course Peter Gunn. Mancini had a gift with writing and jazz is at the core. The early RCA records are very well recorded and can be found at Goodwill and used record store. I also have CDs that I got from Amazon. The cool thing about Big Latin Band is that it is from 67 and yet does not sound like a watered down rock band. Big Band Bossa Nova by Qunicy Jones, the first CD I ever played on my HIIIs, is also excellent. You have good taste Russ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Martini's with Mancini is a great compilation. Althought that phrase reminds me of Perez Prado. His version of St.James Infirmary is incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 As far as Latin listening goes, Im always a sucker for Astrud or Bebel Gilberto. My friends usually kind of trip when I jump to this after playing some of the Fantomas or Mr. Bungle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Latin stuff is cool. Lots of junk but lots of gems. Picked this up a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
