About The Record:

Our Man in Hollywood, by Henry Mancini, is a vibrant studio album that captures the composer's sophisticated orchestral sound with lush strings, rich brass, and dynamic percussion, performed by Hollywood's top session musicians. It features fresh instrumental interpretations of themes from films and television, including Mancini's own Oscar-winning Days of Wine and Roses alongside energetic takes on Walk on the Wild Side, the theme from The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, and fan-favorites like Seventy-Six Trombones and Dreamsville. A unique aspect of the album is its place within Mancini's informal "Our Man In..." series, which ties the selections to the glamorous world of Hollywood cinema and entertainment. While Days of Wine and Roses had previously achieved significant success and acclaim as a Mancini composition, the album itself presents newly arranged versions without any accompanying hit singles or notable chart performance for the release as a whole.
