Customer Reviews Tre Cool I didn't know it was called "crime jazz" until I saw another reviewer mention it. Very cool collection. I only know the TV show from reruns, as it left the airwaves a few months before I was born. However, I fell in love with the show and the music. The music was the perfect fit for film noir mood of the series. It is also great lounge music for chilling out in the evenings. . WOW! Uh-UHHHH! No way is THIS filler material! Mancini doesn't have a single dud on the album! " Brothers Go to Mother's", "Fallout", "Floater" and "Brief and Breezy" are dynamite stuff!. Sizzling hot jazz! Everybody knows the "Peter Gunn Theme", but I had thought the rest of the album would be "filler". first rate........highly recommend Had both in LP version back then. Combo of two albums released in '59/60 from the TV show. Finally picked up this CD replacement. Essence of cool, at least early 60's style. Tuneful and inventive. Mancini knocked them dead and enhanced his already impressive reputation with these compositions. Based on reviews written this is the disc to buy as other single album remasters were reportedly not done well. Don't have the others but know this one sounds great. Great add to your collection. . .
