1960

From Billboard - January 26, 1960: Henry Mancini proves on this fine new album that he can do more than the music for "Peter Gun" with this very attractive big band waxing that could turn into another best-seller. The outstanding Mancini arrangements are played by the 35-piece ork with a sharpness and precision that is a pleasure to hear. Tunes include Mancini originals such as "Let's walk" and "A Cool Shade Of Blue" and standards including "Snow Fall" and "That's All." The stereo sound is excellent.
