John Williams records Henry Mancini’s “Peter Gunn”

For an upcoming tribute album honoring famed composer Henry Mancini, some of his past colleagues and fans, including John Williams, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock and Arturo Sandoval, recently got together to record some of Mancini’s biggest hits. Last October this all-star group re-recorded the iconic “Theme from Peter Gunn,” including Williams, who actually played piano on the original recording back in 1958. “CBS Sunday Morning” got to watch.

I like how relaxed John looks, not just performing but actually enjoying the moment!

I'd love to see a full length video or dvd release of this.

I watched the segment on CBS Sunday Morning. 91-year old John Williams is the sole survivor of that 1958 henry Mancini orchestra who recorded that tightly-wound, swinging, soaring theme. Saw Mancini snd his 1972 version of the orchestra play it live. It raised the hairs on the back of your neck to hear that seminal theme in the flesh

JOHN WILLIAMS played the piano on the original theme? I did not know that! Very, very cool.

[margaretpeabody]

I was hoping they'd play The walking bass part but man those horns were strong 💪🙌💪

[pshimmons]

please oh please tell us that you have more of this session! AND Tell us how to watch it!

I'm surprised that at his age, age related hearing loss hasn't prevented him from continuing his career. What luck to still be able to hear, enjoy and write music at his age. I hope I get to be that lucky!

[kathrynmccullough]

Makes me think of the Blues Brothers movie.

From the trumpet section, I recognized Arturo Sandoval and Rashawn Ross. Who are the other two?

[richardgeorgeallen]
