Pink Guitar - Henry Mancini
Henry Mancini is forever…few popular composers have stuck so many great tunes in our heads. So Solid Air Records asked a dozen great guitarists to pick a classic Henry Mancini tune and whip up an equally classic solo guitar arrangement. Some hookups seemed obvious…the incredible Pink Panther Theme was a perfect match for Laurence Juber’s outrageous playing, and Moon River’s beauty was perfectly placed with Ed Gerhard. But that’s just a start; many exciting and beautiful twists and turns await you on this marvelous theme collection. The complete list of songs and artists is below, but for starters, there’s Pat Donohue’s six gun attack on Peter Gunn and Doug Smith’s beautiful treatment of It’s Easy to Say, the love song from “10!” And speaking of Doug Smith, just to finish things off right, Doug and his Groovemaster partner Mark Hanson deliver a bonus duet of A Shot In The Dark. It’s all just too much fun to miss out on. And it a perfect gift, too!
