In questo episodio: la prima parte dello SPECIALE dedicato alla carriera del Maestro Henry Mancini (1924-1994), in occasione del suo Centenario. Ripercorriamo le tappe della carriera di uno dei più grandi musicisti per il cinema e la TV con estratti – registrati con i migliori session players e la crema dei musicisti jazz della West Coast – dalle sue colonne sonore, partendo da Touch of Evil (1958) di Orson Welles per arrivare a “The Great Race” (1965) di Blake Edwards – per il quale Mancini, oltre che per le serie TV Peter Gunn (1958) e Mr. Lucky (1959), ha siglato anche gli score di High Time (1960), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Experiment in Terror (1962), Days of wine and roses (1962), The Pink Panther (1963), A Shot in the dark (1964) ed altri – passando per The Great Impostor (1961) di Robert Mulligan, Bachelor in Paradise (1961) di Jack Arnold, Mr. Hobbs takes a vacation (1962) di Henry Koster, Hatari! (1962) e Man’s Favorite Sport? (1964) di Howard Hawks, Soldier in the rain (1963) di Ralph Nelson, Charade (1963) di Stanley Donen e Dear Heart di Delbert Mann; jazz, latin grooves, orchestra d’archi e coro per un musica straordinaria e senza tempo, incisa su LP, 45 giri e CD RCA Victor, Varese Sarabande, Intrada, Film Score Monthly, La La Land Records.
