"Sizzling hot jazz!
Everybody knows the "Peter Gunn Theme", but I had thought the rest of the album would be "filler".
Uh-UHHHH! No way is THIS filler material! Mancini doesn't have a single dud on the album!
" Brothers Go to Mother's", "Fallout", "Floater" and "Brief and Breezy" are dynamite stuff!"

"Very cool collection. I didn't know it was called "crime jazz" until I saw another reviewer mention it. I only know the TV show from reruns, as it left the airwaves a few months before I was born. However, I fell in love with the show and the music. The music was the perfect fit for film noir mood of the series. It is also great lounge music for chilling out in the evenings."
Best television score ever.

"Mancini's early jazz compositions for small combo and big band are unmatched for jazz listening enjoyment. Everyone should have these two albums (one CD) in their collection."
