I'm 17 years old, playing Tuba in an orchestra and for Christmas concert at my shool I'll play that song!! Its so awesome, i love it!!

[trentk]

This theme song has made it through televison, garage bands, and orchestras. What a tribute to Henry Mancini, a true master of his craft.

Man! This never gets old!!! What a tune!

[richardmcgeehan]

I remember watching the show, this is without a doubt the best opening score ever, out of all the shows back in the 50's hands down.

Nobody even knows who Peter Gunn was anymore. The music outlived the character.

Everyone commenting on the tuba player, he is insanely fantastic.
Don't forget the bass trombone is playing the same line all the way from beginning to end as well. Just as amazing!!!

4 minutes of constant play is an endurance test for the drummer, tuba, and one of the trombones. However, there's another bit. They changed their volume so you could hear the soloist. Then ramped up again so you could still hear them when the full ensemble kicked in again. Great stuff. Always has been and always will be.

Amazing performance. The Drummer keeps everyone in time perfectly. My hat goes off to him.!

[paulbeck]

Been a Henry Mancini fan for 50 years. Never gets old. I am but the music- never!

[yvonnecormier]

As I get older, I appreciate Henry Mancini a 1, 000 times more.

Gad, I miss Henry Mancini. His music was like the background music to my life when I was a kid. Every time a new album would come out, I'd be first in line. Best music ever.

Lol, I was almost born at home because the the "Peter Gunn" show. It was my mother's favorite show and she was watching it when she went into labor with me. Thank God my father wasn't working that night, he had to force her to go to the hospital, a half hour away! I was born not too long after. Whenever I see or hear anything related to Peter Gunn I smile and get a little choked up, my mother has been dead 9 years now and I still miss her so much.

This best pared down version I've heard, I play it over and over whenever I need a lift. simply delightful.

[daniellittle]

The guy on the tuba is THE constant -- everything else follows him -- he's like a metronome

[marksides]

Mancini is a totally awesome composer and conductor. His music is so easy to relax into.

[ronrow]

My mom went to school with Henry Mancini. In Pennsylvania, Aliquippa High School class of 42. He arranged for the school band and orchestra even before graduation.

[jonathanlane]

One of the greatest TV themes ever written.

I've always loved Henry Mancini's music ever since I was a kid. When I was a kid, my parents had, in fact, a cassette of the Best of Mancini.
