"Peter Gunn" by Mancini: ?other jazz style albums

I wish I still had my old albums. I now have the "More Music from Peter Gunn" CD which includes the Peter Gunn theme and some cuts from "Mr. Lucky". I much prefer his original version of the main theme to the Ray Anthony version that you hear on the radio occassionally. Each cut was the theme for a particular character or mood in the TV show. It was very revolutionary for TV music.
Part of the fun is the band. Vince DeRosa on horn!!! It reminds me of the time I got to sit in on a Stan Kenton rehearsal when he was using some of the same musicians.
It would be fun to see re-runs of the original show, too.

Pink Panther is the other jazz. PG is punchier but shorter. Panther has extention and finesse.

"Touch of Evil" is even better. These were scores for film and TV. In the late 50s jazz ("jazz") got to be a thing in Hollywood. The most exciting was Elmer Bernstein's scores for "The Man with the Golden Arm" and "Sweet Smell of Success". Quite often local West Coast musicians like Shelly Mann, Shorty Rogers, Chico Hamilton, etc. were hired to assist, often appearing in the films. There is a compilation of a lot of this stuff called "Crime Jazz". Some of it is fun.
