Hit: 5 Stars
Easy listening is my favorite type of music and he is one of the best.Free Music Review: Excellent Mood Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Henry Mancini was one of the greatest composers of the 20th Century. I have a number of collections of his music. He was a perfectionist when conducting his compositions. The result is high-quality music that sets a romantic mood. All 23 numbers are very good. But I bought this album for #18 - Dreamsville. I used to play trombone and trumpet in a dance band in the 1960's. We would finish after 1:00am and often had a bit of a drive back home. A midwest clear channel radio station always used Dreamsville as its theme song for the late-night music show. It is a song that has haunted me for decades. It is done with great style. There are many fine instrumental solos on this album - tenor and alto sax, trombone, trumpet with tasteful piano accents.
If you have trouble falling asleep, put on Dreamsville. Unfortunately, most of the time I heard it, I did not have that option. I was driving a car with a ways to go and several snoozing musicians depending on me.

This cd has brought back many fond memories of the great Henry Mancini music I listened to while growing up. It is simply outstanding work!!Free Music Review: Well, Peter Gunn was good
Hit: 3 Stars
This is worth buying just for Peter Gunn, but I really hoped the rest would be better than it is. After a while, I started feeling like I was on a long elevator ride. I still gave it 3 stars after reminding myself that this stuff was designed to be played in the background.Free Music Review: Brings back childhood
Hit: 5 Stars
Not only is the quality and song selections top notch but this cd also brought back a feeling from childhood....my parents listened to Mancini's music when company came or just hanging around the house. That was a time when I didn't have a care in the world and this music puts me back in that time....at least mentally. It simplifies my thoughts for awhile, a great way to relieve stress. What surprised me was the reaction of my 26 year old the first time he heard it. He came into the house one afternoon, stopped and asked, "What music is that?" I thought a sarcastic comment would follow...it did not....he followed it with...."Makes the house feel happy."
