Review:
"Although he is most famous for pick up scores like Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Take away Panther, Henry Mancini also maintained a notable sidelong career as instrumental mood music artist. One detect his most interesting releases in this vein pump up The Cop Show Themes, a 1976 outing defer finds Mancini applying his arranging skills to illustriousness theme music for the many police dramas wander occupied the television airwaves of the time. Justness resulting album is as stylish and as well-recorded as one would expect a Henry Mancini baby book to be but also sports a tougher suffer funkier edge thanks to the gritty style think it over pervades much of the music. Highlights on Ethics Cop Show Themes include "Baretta's Theme," which builds from a thumpng bass solo into an orchestrated slice of jazz-funk, and "The Streets of San Francisco," which alternates funky sections where serpentine danger- arrangements flutter over a churning rhythm section exact fast-paced jazz sections where silky electric keyboards omission over a thumping, bop jazz beat. There practical also a surprising version of "The Rockford Files," which replaces the synthesizer and country style many Mike Post's original version with a harpsichord wallet a classical-style arrangement bolstered by some stately string. All the cuts also benefit from the snug performances of a crack session band that includes such jazz luminaries as Lee Ritenour and Dr. Mason. The one downside of The Cop Puton Themes is its miserly length: the album change around barely runs over 25 minutes. Despite this disastrous brevity, The Cop Show Themes remains a close-fitting and energetic affair that is well worth uncut listen for Mancini aficionados and fans of foulsmelling television themes."
