This song has the ability to take you"anywhere" by just closing your eyes, so beautiful and elegant, so missing in today's world of music. When I was a young boy in the fifties and sixties this music could be heard on your radio and clubs, today we have to thank You Tube for letting us enjoy, thank you.
yeah .. i m dreamin of warm place ..sittin in the front of the chimney , covered in a fine blanket with my beloved woman ... listenin to this smooth music .. hm ...it s only in my mind , since i m alone ... trust is the worst thing in a relation .. when is gone ,the rest is sorrow , thnx to this music ,at least the heart is gently cured ...
Sitting in the living room, snow coming down covering the porch and yard and trees, just so simple and beautiful, this song makes one want to just sit here all day,
This had to have been recorded and released before around 1962 or so, since it was the opening and closing theme of "The Modern Jazz Hour" broadcast 5 nights a week at 10PM on WBAL in Baltimore. Great jazz, and incredible host. Anyone recall his name?
Tomorrow is My Friend is from the album "Gaily, Gaily", very good music, I think Henry Mancini was too much, ev'ry music that he was composing or arranging was a 100% sure everybody's delight.
Henry recorded Snowfall very long ago, but is one of the best interpretations , you close your eyes when listen to this music and you can see and fell the snowfalling, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
@rduncan4040 Snowfall is from the L.P. Record "The Mancini Touch" and I bought this record in 1973, later it was released in the C.D. format in 1994.....Nor the Record or C.D., gives any information about when was recorded I asumme maybe around 1970's.
Oh God, this is Mancini playing Claude Thornhill. so great. The Manhattan Transfer version of this is the second great version of this tune. Claude should be proud.
Oh, I don't know about that. I'm just glad we're not arguring over the validity of hip-hop! I will say one thing--Mancini wrote a very nice book on arranging (I studied the book while in college)--one of the first out there to do such things (well before the Bill Russo book series, etc)., and I REALLY thank Mancini for devoting real time and energy to what was then an underserved study. Especially, anyone who writes for an interlaced trombone/french horn section owes a huge debit to Mancini!
@callmeBe - nice to see all the HM appreciation here! I got to go to his tribute concert at LA's Disney Hall in 2004 -sat 25' behind the orchestra where all the soloists performed. AMAZING EVENING ! ! ! ! ! !
My tribute to our great musicians is an ever-expanding music history channel with over 500 playlists so far. They feature most genres & span the globe. 111 lists let you hear music of any year since 1900 like you've stepped back in time. 300 artists, like HM, each have their own lists.
I`m watching it snow here in north central Texas ( Wichita Falls) as this plays.....It`s JUSTICE!!!!!! Just finished listening to Mr. Lucky Theme.......Mr. Mancini is MOST XLNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, bang, not "corney" is Thornhill's theme song. This is a wonderful and delicate composition--and needed to be treated with real reverence. (Thornhill was, as you know, a great band leader and really recorded some fine works-especially in the late 1940's). Manicini, of all people, should have known that. All I'm saying is that this version is horrible in its pandering to sentimentality (sp). I think the best recording of Thornhil's theme was done by him in the early 50's. It is on CD.
Well, "corney" is a corny version, itself, and I disagree about Claude Thornhill's old composition, too. My Mancini copy of it was stolen along with many other CDs at Chicago's O'Hare International ten years and a month ago, and I miss my collection dearly, especially since I now live in an Asian forest.
Wes Montgomery and his Brothers do this to perfection on Montgomery Bros. in Canada LP.... this is a great version by Mancini as well..... Phil Woods on Alto??
