Free Music Notes for Breakfast At Tiffany's: Music From The Motion Picture Score
Free Music Review: Surprisingly Swinging
Hit: 3 Stars
Having never been a fan of Mancini ("A Shot in the Dark" was the only Mancini tune I liked), I was surprised how some of the songs really work for me.
I still can not stand to hear "Moon River", but "Something for the Cat" and especially "Sally's Tomato" are top craft arrangements. "Loose Caboose" is another favorite. Listening to these three songs gave me a thought I never had before. And that is that Mancini has had a huge impact on Quincy Jones. Jones swingin big band style obviously was influenced by Mancini.
Breakfast At Tiffany's: Music From The Motion Picture Score Poster
When you think of Henry Mancini, you inevitably think of either "Peter Gunn" or "Moon River." (Well, maybe "The Pink Panther"--but that became a cartoon show, so it doesn't count!) Breakfast at Tiffany's gave the world the latter tune, and that beautiful melody recurs throughout this soundtrack LP, which remained No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts for 12 weeks in 1961. (Music for Peter Gunn in 1959 was Mancini's only other No. 1 album.) The soundtrack doesn't include Andy Williams's hit single of "Moon River," but then neither did the film. It does, however, take you through the many moods of the film (and the exploits of Miss Holly Golightly), with an emphasis on Latin influences in the forms of "Latin Golightly" and "Moon River Cha Cha." Nevertheless, one common complaint has been that RCA could've remastered the music and added additional tracks to flesh out the CD. Maybe in the future... --Bill HoldshipPop Music CDs
