This newly reissued session features the music of Henry Mancini played by a quintet led by NEA Jazz Master Phil Woods and jazz trumpeter Carl Saunders. Featuring over 75 minutes of music, the CD reprises some of Mancini"s greatest jazz compositions."A can"t-miss album that makes the most of two dynamic musicians, a great rhythm section, and compositions by the genius of Henry Mancini." -- JazzReview"One of the all-time great alto-saxophonists and a major force in the jazz scene since at least 1954, Phil Woods is not only one of the masters of bebop but a musician who through the years has extended the idiom through his personal voice, inventive repertoire and inspired settings." Scott Yanow"Carl Saunders is not as world famous yet due to his valuable but underrated work as a lead trumpeter in big bands and being based in Los Angeles. Listeners will have no difficulty having fun listening to the infectious performances on one of the finest jazz tributes to the music of Henry Mancini." Scott Yanow, Author of eight jazz books including Trumpet Kings, Jazz On Record 1917-76, Bebop, Swing and Afro-Cuban Jazz
