Notes from the back of the EP
sleeve: If modern jazz becomes indelibly linked with
manslaughter, murder, mayhem, wise-cracking private eyes
and droll policemen, the brunt of the responsibility must
be borne by composer Henry Mancini. Because of him
the point is rapidly being reached where no
self-respecting killer would consider pulling the trigger
without a suitable jazz background. Seriously, Henry
Mancini has become a pacesetter.
