Midnight, Moonlingt & Magic: The Very Best of Henry Mancini
Easy listening is my favorite type of music and he is one of the best.
Excellent Mood Music
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.
The Very Best of Henry Mancini
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!!
