Since completing 1963’s ‘Green Onions’, Henry Mancini fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. John Digester has compared writing for Henry Mancini’s new album to that on ‘Uniquely Mancini’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. IF YOU LIKE ALL Henry Mancini’S SONG GO FOR IT! Uniquely Mancini constantly brilliant.
Stairway To The Stars gets you up and jumping. Night Train is simply excellent. A fantastic track full of wonder. Chelsea Bridge great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Simple and heartfelt closing track Duke’s Place (C Jam Blues) closes Uniquely Mancini on a high note. Banzai Pipeline is a great opener for Uniquely Mancini. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Henry Mancini has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. Lonesome is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. I have all of Henry Mancini’s tracks and The Hot Canary is probably the most his introspective effort. Moonlight Serenade is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo.
