This theme song has made it through televison, garage bands, and orchestras. What a tribute to Henry Mancini, a true master of his craft.

@George Ian
I’m slowly working my way through stacks of wax with original cuts if I can find it I’ll put it up my Brothers partner had we think in the area of 25,000 albums from 78’s to house music from different countries and clubs. Even had some Edison Cylinders first thing did with those was donate them to a museum for preservation. Quite a lot is things that are now public domain so no one can complain. People think rap song lyrics are obscene today listen to some of the 1916-1930 lyric. Shave ‘em Dry comes to mind first. Even Cole Porters “Anything Goes” is true today just no f words. Proves everything old is new again.

Dale Andrews

Easily adapted and arranged for whatever band or ensemble is playing it. I'm old enough to remember the TV series, although I was just a small youngster. I - even at that young age - was always captivated by this theme song. Written by none other than one of the best in the business, the incomparable Henry Mancini. Although a flute and piano player, Mancini seemed to be enthralled with the sound of the trombone! This music will live on forever.

Henry Mancini wrote the original music for the Peter Gunn theme of the Peter Gun TV series. His style used one drummer and 10 horns. It succeeded in building feeling suspense and keeping it constant. A unique Henry Mancini sound. He also wrote the music for The Pink Panther, A Shot in the Dark,Love Story, Oklahoma Crude, Theme from Charlie's Angels, The Thornbirds Theme, movies, Days of Wine and Roses, Banzai Pipeline and at least 30 others.

I don't go out for live music all that much (ADHD; don't play well with cacophony 😊) BUT you made me remember that I'd seen Mancini (at Atlanta's Fabulous Fox theater iirc ) AND Carmine Coppola conducting, again iirc, the Atlanta Symphony. Both were absolutely magical evenings. Thanks!

Fun and impressive as this is, Henry Mancini had two great albums of big band jazz from Peter Gunn and another one from the follow-up series Mr. Lucky. well worth finding; they defined the hippest and coolest music of the era - and they're timeless. No novelties, just rock solid swinging or gorgeous ballads.

One cannot help to be, feel, become "CoooooooooooooL" when hearing or playing this Peter Gunn song. These musicians are the height of "CooL", and Henri Mancini is the Emperor.

Side valve is the hardest trumpet to play other than a pocket. I switched over straight. But the tuba player has got to have some serious time playing,

Jean

It is no better than what we heard on TV every week.

@Jean
Just that live in front of an audience with no chance for a retake is a whole lot of hours practice more than session musicians with a retake or two available î

Jean

@KeepTyrannyFromAmerica True. I notice with this performance that the tempo is much slower than the TV show when John Williams was on the piano. I account this on the cumbersome tuba.

This is wonderful. It takes enormous skill to keep the brass on the gentle side ... and they do this so so very well. wow. Theme from Peter Gunn is spectacular music ... best jazz composition from the '50s [maybe early '60s]. So strange to think how old this music is. Fortunate that it is allowed in Qatar.
