HENRY MANCINI The Blues And The Beat (1995 UK 16-track CD album - originally released in 1966, this compilation sees the legendary composer take two of the oldest forms of contemporary music, jazz and blues, and merged them to form something spectacular, an album that has that huge big band sound of jazz, with subtle undertones of the blues, without getting lost in the typically melancholic tones of the genre. Presented in a great picture sleeve, providing a full replica of the original sleeve art)
