Jazz similar to Mancini Peter Gunn music (not the theme)


Recommended Posts

I am looking for suggestions for Jazz similar to that written by Mancini for Peter Gunn, but not specifically the theme.  I really like the other tracks on both the albums.  I have them both on original RCA mono.  Tracks like Sorta Blue, Brothers go to Mother's,  and many others. Not sure of the jazz genre.  Some is almost big band swing, and other bits are smooth and lay back.   Some of it at times reminds me of exotica like Arthur Lyman (probably the way he used vibes) without the jungle noises. :)

Maybe try Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington... since you mentioned big band swing

Oh, certainly.  I even have heaps of big band and swing on 78 records, as well as LP.  As I said, some of Mancini tends that way, but in general it is different, especially the slow jazz tracks which I also enjoy.

Looks great.   Having trouble in Chrome under linux getting the player to work.  I will sort something out and have a listen, thanks

Idano ... jazz with strings ... veering very close to big band swing, then exotica, and beyond that into schmaltz. 

 

Jazz:

- Gil Evans - Out Of The Cool

- Kenny Burrell - Guitar Forms

- maybe some of the older George Benson albums?

 

Exotica:

- Mandingo!

- George Shearing colours series maybe (white, satin, etc)

Great list.  Thanks.  I actually have Mandingo, and some Shearing (but not those)  Benson is an interesting suggestion.

 

I knew you guys would give me lots to explore...
