That's why I LISTEN to music. I Don't generally watch it. I hated the MTV generation and its requirement that you were "good looking" and had a show in order to present music.
I remember hearing my first live jazz band concert at a college. This was after going to lots of rock concerts. The jazz band blew me out of my seat, I was hooked. I had the pleasure of going to the Monterey Jezz Festival and hearing lots of the greatest, but the premiere was attending a Count Basie and his orchestra concert in San Luis Obispo. Wow!!!
When I was a teenager I used to play both of those on the piano!😆 Its so wonderful to watch Henry Mancini's orchestra play with no electronic / computerized influences at all!
That's Wonderful, I to probably have some Record Albums by Henry Mancini..I always thought he was Cute. I was really young then. He did some TV Specials, and he always seemed so nice 😄 and ❤️ personable. 🎶🎵🎶💕💕
I'm impressed by the saxophone section that play not only saxophones but clarinet, flute and piccolo. Sure, clarinet and saxophone are similar, but definitely not the same, but flute is entirely different.
@@paulpearson99 The fingerings may be similar, but the embouchure is entirely different. Clarinet and saxophone are probably the closest, but even they are fairly different. Fingerings are similar for the lower clarinet register, but because a clarinet overblows a 12th the upper register is different.
@@utha2665 true. It's been years since I played sax, and I never learned the flute. But several friends in college played all three and commented that the similar fingerings made it easier
@@paulpearson99 It'd certainly help, for sure. Maybe it was just me, but I tried to get a sound out of a flute many a time and it just left me lightheaded. 😂😂
if you’re going to play woodwinds in any kind of jazz band, you better know how to double and triple up your instruments. as a sax player, you never know if they’re going to hand you a clarinet, or aa flute part.
I suggest heading to Frenchmen Street in New Orleans and walk from Washington Square to the Patio Bar on Decatur. Any night. Swagger is just swing with more funk in the hips.
We use to have a few FM stations that played instrumental music and some film scores, then it became only one AM station....now it's not any. Just Talk shows and music you couldn't possibly sit and relax with. This is what they think people want. What a damn shame....
Back in '74 my head was far too full of Mott the Hoople, T.Rex, Yes, Sparks, Bowie, Roxy Music etc etc to be interested in old man music. Now I'm an old man myself I can appreciated it so much more 😀.
There towards the end of the "Peter Gunn Theme" it kinda morphed into music for a chase scene in a 70's TV show like Starsky & Hutch or movie like Dirty Harry.
For those asking who's in the band, here's all the ones I think I can recognise: Drums - Ronnie Verrell Piano - Harry Stoneham Bass - looks like Daryl Runswick, Guitar - looks like Judd Proctor, but difficult to tell! Trumpets - (possibly) Bobby Haughey, Stan Roderick, Derek Watkins, Kenny Wheeler Trombones - ??, Johnny Edwards, Harry Roche Saxes/Flutes - Tony Coe, Bob Efford, Peter Hughes (solo on Peter Gunn), two others, Henry Mancini All incredible players, among the best in Britain - if not the world! Any corrections or suggestions for the unknowns welcome!
This performance is the musical embodiment of C.S. Lewis's quote, "When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." Serious musicians having some fun with pieces that demand you don't take them too seriously.
I'm watching this almost 50 years to the day after it was performed, and it's still impressive as hell. Timeless, classic music that never goes out of style, even if the clothes do LoL
A bunch of apparently square, middle-aged blokes - most wearing specs - turn out to be cool and skilful. Imagine having a Dad or Grandad who could play like that!
He is one of my two favorite composers and I just love his big band style and execution. I had forgotten how intense he was both playing and directing.
This Music was so great to.listen too. Wonderful to have this here on Utube. Plus Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass. Their 🎶 🎵 🎶 Music was so Great. The Lonely Bull,. Other great songs Back in the Day. Then Along with Astrud Gilberto "The Girl From Ipanema"., great song 🎵🎶🎵 catchy Melody and Astrud Gilberto singing this great song. They used the Melody in A Cartoon Movie "Sing" some years ago. That musical tune is very recognized. The composer did a very, very wonderful Job on this Song, still one of my Favorites from 1960s. I googled and it said the Sway of Brazillian Bossa Nova. ❤💕💕❤️🎶🎵🎶
I grew up with this among a lot of other great stuff. My dad's only rule on music was it had to be Good, whatever the genre. It never leaves your head either!
Greetings from Brasil! I was born at 1977, 3 years after this recording. But this musics bring me back to childhood . Pink Panther (Pantera Cor de Rosa) TV show, Peter Gunn sing at Blues Brothers (Os Irmãos Cara de Pau) movie, and Baby Elephant Walk (O Passo do Elefantinho), we sang at kindergarten . Mancini, a great genius!
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic!🙌 Every musician in this orchestra seems to be a real master. Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Mancini is an absolute genius. I always believe that the simpliest is the hardest. It's soooo difficult to reach so much people with something so apparently simple... PD: when I listen Peter Gunn I instantly remember The Blues Brothers XD
That was made before I was born, but I still love it. (Also, when I hear the Peter Gunn theme, all I can picture is either the video game Spy Hunter or the Monty Python skit The Bishop.) Thanks for the music, Henry.
When I saw Mancini playing the flute- it occurred to me that he IS ThePinkPanther. Can’t find any verification on that. Arguably it’s ez to think PinkPanther is jewel thief, pencil thin elegant David Niven, but that’s not who I see anymore. The cartoon has new meaning …for me.😉
So great to see all these videos! Been a Mancini fan my whole life and love that I finally get to see Hank and his musicians in action. Thank you for posting and please keep them coming!
Peter Gunn - the pianist on the original recording is another national treasure - a young guy named "Johnny" Williams!
Meh, that kid is a flash in the pan
Interesting!
Later known as just ''John Williams''.
@@albertaldrich.3063 his son is Joseph Williams of Toto
I did not know that. Thanks so very much 🙏😎
Not only was Henry Mancini a great composer, he was also a master arrainger, and a master of the medley.
Exactly
Mancini is a national treasure. I love all his music, but the Peter Gunn Theme is, by far, my favorite.
He was, may he rest in peace.
Soundtrack from Breakfast at Tiffany's is great too.
Henry Mancini,James Last, Herb Alpert. Great music is a joy forever.
Absolutely ❤
Also Nelson Riddle.
How can anyone NOT like Henry Mancini? I must have 50 of his records, maybe more. Probably a lot more. 🙂
I've got several myself.
Good taste!
I don't know who hates him, but he's one of the best. I sing along to this, and I play some of his stuff on my piano.
He WAS the coolest cat.
FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW BAND LEADER DOC STEVENSON "EL GATO" ANOTHER COOL THE CAT!
Old enough to hear it in the 60"s but still sounds great.
Gotta love the guy on drums.
Full neck shirt, & tie, with a jacket, playing everything!
Give them all a cold drink, starting with the drummer!
I was a young teenager at this time. I thought holy cow, good musicians beat showmanship everyday. This inspired me to learn how to play my clarinet.

@@RandallvanOosten-ln5wf I got to see Maynard Ferguson in concert in the mid-70s.
Love this. Amazing how everyone is playing together flawlessly. Love 'Baby Elephant Walk.'
King of Cool!!!

Yes!
I bought a record of Mr Mancini and this music back when he first came to popularity mid '60s. Still have it.
Nice

It's actually not uncommon for sax players to play the flute. If I recall, the fingerings are similar.

With the dynamic Ronnie Verrell on triangle and drums!
Any idea who's on sax for Pink Panther. Is it Dick Morrisey?
Kid's today have no idea what good music is !❤
What are you talking about? They all listen to the Beatles.
I think that is because we stopped teaching music and they think any noise made with an instrument is music.
It's up to us to get them interested and excited about it
I suggest heading to Frenchmen Street in New Orleans and walk from Washington Square to the Patio Bar on Decatur. Any night. Swagger is just swing with more funk in the hips.
Mine does

I love T. Re,and movie as well.
The grooves, the ensemble work, and the solo work are all beyond hot. 🔥 Respect. ❤
Yes. That orchestra was tight and on it, and also could just wail on their solos.
Yeah!
When Henry pops up with the piccolo 🐘
There towards the end of the "Peter Gunn Theme" it kinda morphed into music for a chase scene in a 70's TV show like Starsky & Hutch or movie like Dirty Harry.
Wow, this is like progressive heavy rock without electric guitars nor distortions. Awesome.
For those asking who's in the band, here's all the ones I think I can recognise:
Drums - Ronnie Verrell
Piano - Harry Stoneham
Bass - looks like Daryl Runswick,
Guitar - looks like Judd Proctor, but difficult to tell!
Trumpets - (possibly) Bobby Haughey, Stan Roderick, Derek Watkins, Kenny Wheeler
Trombones - ??, Johnny Edwards, Harry Roche
Saxes/Flutes - Tony Coe, Bob Efford, Peter Hughes (solo on Peter Gunn), two others, Henry Mancini
All incredible players, among the best in Britain - if not the world! Any corrections or suggestions for the unknowns welcome!
I love how Mr. Mancini lets his musicians cut loose a little, so cool 😎
This should have WAY more than 65k views!

This kind of wonderful music just doesn’t exist anymore
It does, but definitely not MSM!
First, they need good movies to support this music .
Baby Elephant Walk ❤🥰
I can just see the baby elephant 🐘😍❤️
Me too!!
🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Oh yes! It was a perfect song for the baby elephants follwing Dallas (Elsa Martinelli) in the movie Hatari.
I'm watching this almost 50 years to the day after it was performed, and it's still impressive as hell. Timeless, classic music that never goes out of style, even if the clothes do LoL
Wholly cow! That was terrific!
I love Baby Elephant Walk!
A bunch of apparently square, middle-aged blokes - most wearing specs - turn out to be cool and skilful. Imagine having a Dad or Grandad who could play like that!
Lovely Tenor solo! (I think Plas would give it a big thumbs up too!!!!😄😄😄
Truly a genius. Big band jazz in the 60s of all things.
Go back and listen to the background music and some themes on cartoons. The first one that came to mind was "The Jetsons" theme.
He is one of my two favorite composers and I just love his big band style and execution. I had forgotten how intense he was both playing and directing.
Definitely one of my favorite composers.
One of my favourites as well. And on my playlist.
Groovy man ! I love the way the drummer was getting into that.
I love Pink Panther!
Kenny Wheeler at 4:40 and of course Tony Coe on tenor for the Pink Panther theme
... Derek Watkins and Fisher on Tp
Please add more musician names. They deserve kudos
Peter Gunn was prime time TV when I was growing up. I dug the music then and I still do.
The late great Ronnie Verrell on the drum kit aka Animal from The Muppets.
Wow!!! Such fluidity. It all goes together
Some music is instilled in us. This would bring me out of a coma.
Shout out to those musicians!
Yeah!
4:40 OMG so incredible and unexpected! What an arragement and what an improvisation! So cool!!
Great national treasure! Epitome of cool!

Great musician I was lucky enough to attend his performance in San Diego many years ago his many musicians performed better then I expected.
I grew up with this among a lot of other great stuff. My dad's only rule on music was it had to be Good, whatever the genre. It never leaves your head either!
Imagine being second Trumpet or third Trumpet next to a young Steven K. Bannom and you get the world watching you at 1:00 for like the next 20 min!
This is just too cool 😎
What a band. And the way Mancini arranged those 3 compositions seamlessly into this medley is awe-inspiring. Legends, one and all.
His most popular themes now have already been his most popular pieces back then!
Oh this is so so so aca aca ace I was a great fan of these toons especially Pink Panther, childhood obsession ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Think of the brain power in Mr. Mancini’s orchestra!
I expected to see a cartoon Pink Panther cross the screen, or a costumed Pink Panther lurking around the orchestra.
Greetings from Brasil!

Absolutely Brilliant! I am so lucky to be alive to see this! Bravo, and RIP Henry Mancini. xx
That is a lot of great noise. Damn good.
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic!🙌 Every musician in this orchestra seems to be a real master. Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Fantastic. Love how they put it all together. But that saxophone player and the drummer are my favourites! ❤😊
Je vais faire simple, c'est génial .
Mancini is an absolute genius. I always believe that the simpliest is the hardest. It's soooo difficult to reach so much people with something so apparently simple... PD: when I listen Peter Gunn I instantly remember The Blues Brothers XD
This brought a smile to my face. 😃
A COMPOSER OF MASTERPIECES!!!
amazing. love this song.
That was cool shit - thank you
Coisa linda!!
Awesome jam!!
It's amazing how he packed so much music into limited song lengths.
Alto solo on Peter Gunn so hot!!
That was made before I was born, but I still love it.
(Also, when I hear the Peter Gunn theme, all I can picture is either the video game Spy Hunter or the Monty Python skit The Bishop.)
Thanks for the music, Henry.
GRANDE MANCINI!!!
This is superb, the song with the clips, The Look..the look that says 3 words..
3 of my favourites in 1 shot! THANK YOU!
The pianist is doing a great imitation of Vivtor Borge at 3:29... 🙂
Plus Jazz in Concert! Awesome!
Harry Stoneham. Was Parkinson's MD for many year and great musician in his own right, particularly jazz organ.
Wow! What great music.... Man, music coming to us in its raw, original, classic format.
Shout out to entire musician 🎉🎉🎉
Fantastic stuff.
I love this. Simply said, this tune gets stuck in my head any time that I hear it. I start looking for Inspector Clousseau.
This Would Definitely Have to be honest One Of My Old Time Favourites Great Work Sounds Fantastic Even Today Well Done 💓✅ Keep Up The Great Work
Wow ............ just WOW!
I never knew that Henry also played the flute.
Mamma miaaaa che splendore!!
I have a Henry Mancini channel on my Pandora, and several albums. Absolutely LOVE his works!
What a cool cat!
Yes this music is great, no it is SUPER!!!!!!
Triángulo, Tuba, Batería, Trompetas... Grande, Mancini
real music by the one and only Enrico!
I’m still watching pink Panther cartoons and the Peter gun series
When I saw Mancini playing the flute- it occurred to me that he IS ThePinkPanther. Can’t find any verification on that. Arguably it’s ez to think PinkPanther is jewel thief, pencil thin elegant David Niven, but that’s not who I see anymore. The cartoon has new meaning …for me.😉
Bu sanatçılların ellerine nefeslerine sağlık. Çok güzel bir performans sergilediler. Perfeçt Mukemmel.
So great to see all these videos! Been a Mancini fan my whole life and love that I finally get to see Hank and his musicians in action. Thank you for posting and please keep them coming!
Love it!! Brilliant ensemble of musicians!! Sad to think there wouldn't be many of those guys still around
Bravvvvvo Mancini, compositor, director, flautista y piccolista.
Has Peter Gunn ever been played with a late bebop double trumpet solo like this before (or since)? Top marks to Parkie's house band.
The. Older I get the more I need to o hear this music
I never stopped.
Espetacular!
Great!!
Genio!
