Henry Mancini was easily one of the greatest composers for film
soundtracks, so putting together a collection of 17 songs nominated
for various awards (Grammy, Golden Globe, or Academy Awards) was easy.
But finding the proper mix of musicians was important. His daughter,
Monica Mancini, is a talented singer in her own right, so she was an
obvious choice. And it was only natural to invite tenor saxophonist
Plas Johnson to reprise his most famous solo in "The Pink Panther
Theme," which he recorded with Mancini for the original soundtrack.
For the most part, Mancini's arrangements are utilized, but there are
some twists. Stevie Wonder is featured on harmonica with the vocal
group Take 6 in the pretty ballad "Moon River," while organist Joey
DeFrancesco shines in the breezy "Mr. Lucky." But it is Monica Mancini
who makes the biggest impression (along with her father's music, of
course). Her sensual rendition of "Moment to Moment," and her lightly
swinging duet with singer Kenny Rankin of "Dreamsville," both of which
are complemented by Tom Scott's superb alto sax, make it apparent that
she inherited her father's musical genes. Among the several
arrangements contributed by Patrick Williams, his gorgeous chart for
Monica of "Dear Heart" features the singer backed mostly by George
Doering's sensitive acoustic guitar. As Donald Fagen of Steely Dan
puts it in his brief note to the CD: "All bow before the High Priest
of Hollywood Cool!" In other words, fans of Henry Mancini should snap
up this rewarding CD right away.
