Shelly was always on the lookout for new material, and he found delight in the music of Mancini-who, in turn, was a big fan of what Manne & His Men did here. They take Mancini's themes and harmonies as a point of departure, creating fresh sounds of their own as they do Odd Ball; Blue Steel; Spook; Joanna; Goofin' at the Coffee House; Lightly, and more! 1959 release.
