Oh, how I miss music like this! Thank you Mr. Mancini, and other talented musical composers over the decades for their talents; the likes not being realized today!

And if you remember the show you can re-see the beatnik proprieter of the coffe house, Ned Ellis, speaking to the beautiful Capri(who never spoke-just listened) watching over his rapt brood of pseudo-intellectuals taking the social road less traveled with bizarre poetry and endless cigarettes. It was the 50's amd America was "On the Road". Didn't his character, Wilbur, have a stripper who removed her garmemts to T.S.Elliot's "Wasteland"? So cooooooool ! The Coffee House

These musicians were from the big band era of the 30's and 40's but grown older and moved to Southern California back when it was the place to be. They were now middle aged in the late 1950's and at the top of their game. There was a bunch of these guys doing studio work at big record labels like Capitol and the movie studios. This generation of musicians was a peak in educated talent with taste. It passed away not long after with the Counterculture explosion.
Mancini was a genius.
