Henry Mancini’s soundtrack to the gritty detective show, Peter Gunn, is an all-time favorite in these parts. I’ll get to that one later, but in the meantime I try and grab every one of the several cover albums related to the show. This is one that can be played straight through. Samuel Aaron Bell (1921–2003) was an Oklahoma-born jazz bassist who played for Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington. He tweaks the arrangements a little but keeps the spirit of the compositions. A good one.
