Lalo Schifrin

After getting home from band rehearsal last night, my wife and I watched another episode we had recorded of the wonderful television show, Mannix.  I just love the theme song and the music used in the show.   The theme was written by the illustrious Lalo Schifrin. 

Schifrin is a pianist, composer, arranger and conductor. He is best known for his large body of film and TV scores since the 1950s, including the themes from Mission: Impossible and bullitt.  His work is very much in the 1960 jazz ethos and is wonderful. 

Listen to the theme song to Mannix using this link.  Be especially sure to listen for the incredibly wonderful tympani part which is prominent at both the beginning and the end of the song.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
