Coming August 12, 2014, GRAMMY-nominated conductor Steven Richman and the Harmonie Ensemble/New York release Music for Peter Gunn, placing their own stamp on the show’s trendsetting score written by Henry Mancini. The classic TV detective series, which ran from 1958 to 1961, is probably best remembered today for its music, which inspired by the West Coast Cool jazz style.
The Emmy-winning score - and its double GRAMMY-awarded album - was performed by an all-star ensemble of some of the West Coast jazz scene’s finest musicians. Now, for the first time in more than half a century, the Harmonie Ensemble/New York, joined by ace old-school improvisers Lew Soloff and Lew Tabackin, takes a new look at this iconic music on this new harmonia mundi release.
Music for Peter Gunn follows in the footsteps of Richman’s and Harmonie Ensemble’s previous bestselling releases Gershwin by Grofé (which landed on the Billboard charts in the top ten) and Ellington/TchaikovskyNutcracker Suites.
