Mancini On Screen (123)
On the program this week, we’re looking at the music of Henry Mancini for movies and TV. We’ll be looking at how other hi-fi artists covered his tunes--everything from The Pink Panther to Mr. Lucky to, of course, Peter Gunn. On top of that, we dig deep into Mancini’s own movie score work for some real fun compositions from a man we like to call The King of Swank.
