"I heard a cut from this on the radio , called the station to find out the artist so I could buy the CD. I love every cut on it.I had not heard of Joe Locke prior to this, that I was aware of. I will be purchasing many more of his works very soon. I can not recommend it high enough. If you like vibes its a must"
Vibes & Mancini .........Unbeatable!

"Since I like vibes in a quartet setting and the works of Henry Mancini, this one's utopia for me! It's a fresh look for some of the most popular and beautiful songs written."Slow Hot Wind" leads it off with some really good jazz sounds(listen to the vibes and piano solos on this one).I got a new perspective of the beauty of "Moon River" by the quartet doing some interesting things with spacing between the notes. Eddie Gomez does a nice solo as well. "Whistling Away The Dark" opens with a fine arco bass solo by Gomez.The less known "Loss Of Love" gets a great late night ballad treatment.Bottom line, this should be in your collection if you like good vibes and/or the music of Mancini."
