We Dig Mancini (153)
During the hi-fi era, Henry Mancini was one of the most popular composers out there, specifically for his TV and movie music. His tunes were cool and collected and often very playful. He wrote memorable melodies that are still played today. This time around, we’re looking at how Mancini’s music was performed by artists of the Atomic Age and how others put their own spin on these classic melodies. We’ll hear from Si Zentner, Plas Johnson, Quincy Jones, and many others!
