Even before you posted this, I noted the NPR interview and put it on my to-listen-to list. Thanks for spreading the word. I just got two wonderful Gershwin/Grofe albums from this musical group, and am very much interested to hear what they've made of Mancini.

I wonder who else in the band (in addition to Williams) is left from the original two soundtrack albums of PETER GUNN.
Dick Nash, Ronnie Lang, Vince De Rosa, Bob Bain...

I just checked henrymancini.com and still no news about the 11-cd set that was mentioned in April.
Any rumors about the 11-cd set?
Sadly it looks like another lost opportunity.
If this UK November release is the same mooted collection, it seems to have lost 2 discs and treads familiar ground - if true, a real shame for us fans who were hoping for something a bit more thoughtful and fresh.
Amazon.co.uk shows it as a Sony release
Tracks here:

The only tracks that haven't been released on CD before is the "Me, Natalie" soundtrack and Fran Jefferies performing "It Had Better Be Tonight" . Lola Albright's recording of "Dreamsville" is from her Columbia LP/CD that Mancini arranged and conducted. There were other "Peter Gunn" themes with added lyrics (some by Sammy Cahn) on this album. "Brief and Breezy", "Soft Sounds" "Slow and Easy", "Straight To Baby"(originally "Session At Pete's Pad") and "Sorta Blue" would have been nice additions to this set.
I don't know if I would purchase this just for the "Me, Natalie" tracks and Fran Jefferies.
