1	My Fair Lady (1956) more music like this by Shelly Manne & His Friends This trio set by Shelly Manne & His Friends (consisting of the drummer/leader, pianist André Previn, and bassist Leroy Vinnegar) was a surprise best-seller and is now considered a classic. Previn (who is really the main voice) leads the group through eight themes from the famous play, including "Get Me to the Church on Time," "I've Grown ... see all copies from £5.47! new only from £6.91!
2	Television's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1986) more music like this by Various Artists This disc is as strong -- or maybe stronger -- than Volume One, and would command a slightly higher rating, if not for the use of some cover versions of the tracks listed, and a few glaring mistakes in the tracks and credits which are sure to disappoint some purchasers. The Three Stooges' theme music is promising enough, but is done just sloppily ... see all copies from £21.85! new only from £21.85!
3	Shelly Manne & His Men Play Peter Gunn (1959) more music like this by Shelly Manne Henry Mancini's writing for Peter Gunn was quite significant, for it was the first regular television series to utilize jazz as an integral part of its score. Half a year after the show debuted, drummer Shelly Manne, the members of his quintet (trumpeter Conte Candoli, altoist Herb Geller, pianist Russ Freeman, and bassist Monty Budwig), and guest ... see all copies from £5.63! new only from £7.22!
4	Poll Winners Three! (1959) more music like this by Barney Kessel with Shelly Manne and Ray Brown From 1956-59, it seemed as if guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne won just about every jazz poll. For their third joint recording, which has been reissued on CD, the musicians contributed an original apiece and also performed seven standards. Highlights of the fairly typical but swinging straightahead set include ... see all copies from £6.07! new only from £7.55!
5	Hollywood Hits: 70 Years of Memorable Movie Music (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Assembled as a companion piece/pledge item for the 2007 PBS television concert special Movie Songs Live, this boxed collection is divvied into separate discs, each devoted to movie themes, Oscar-winning songs and film musicals. While the vast and rich history of the motion picture music genre cannot possibly be compressed into any three-CD set, ... see all copies from £13.84! new only from £13.84!
6	At the Manne-Hole, Vol. 1 (1961) more music like this by Shelly Manne On the first of two albums, Shelly Manne & His Men are heard in prime form performing live at their home base, Shelly's Manne-Hole. Trumpeter Conte Candoli was in particularly strong form throughout the stint, showing self-restraint yet playing with power. Tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca made for a complementary partner, while pianist Russ Freeman ... see all copies from £7.20! new only from £7.20!
7	At the Blackhawk, Vol. 1 (1959) more music like this by Shelly Manne & His Men Shelly Manne's Quintet was recorded extensively at San Francisco's Black Hawk club for three nights in 1959. Although not the most significant group that the drummer led, this edition (with trumpeter Joe Gordon, tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca, pianist Victor Feldman, and bassist Monty Budwig) was certainly capable of playing high-quality bebop. ... see all copies from £5.99! new only from £5.99!
8	At the Blackhawk, Vol. 4 (1959) more music like this by Shelly Manne & His Men Shelly Manne's 1959 quintet (with trumpeter Joe Gordon, tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca, pianist Victor Feldman, bassist Monty Budwig, and the drummer/leader) was not his most important, but it was a hard-swinging unit well versed in bebop. Their three days at the Black Hawk (a popular San Francisco jazz club during this era) was almost completely ... see all copies from £7.82! new only from £7.82!
9	At the Blackhawk, Vol. 5 (1959) more music like this by Shelly Manne & His Men Unlike the first four volumes of this series, which included three or four selections previously released plus a "new" alternate take, the final CD of the extensive documentation of the Shelly Manne Quintet's stint at the Black Hawk club consists entirely of previously unreleased material. Fortunately, the performances by trumpeter Joe Gordon, ... see all copies from £6.91! new only from £6.91!
10	At the Blackhawk, Vol. 2 (1959) more music like this by Shelly Manne & His Men Vol. 2 of the five CDs that document drummer Shelly Manne's Quintet at the Black Hawk club in San Francisco during a three-day period adds a new alternate take of Charlie Mariano's "Step Lightly" to the original program ("Step Lightly," "What's New," "Vamp's Blues"). These lengthy performances ("Vamp's Blues" is over 19 minutes long) give ... see all copies from £6.96! new only from £6.96!
11 view cover	At the Blackhawk, Vol. 3 (1959) more music like this by Shelly Manne & His Men Originally released as four LPs, the Shelly Manne Quintet's three days at San Francisco's Black Hawk club is now documented on five CDs. The third volume adds a second (and longer) version of "Whisper Not" to the original rendition, Cole Porter's "I Am in Love" and the spontaneous 18-minute "Black Hawk Blues." Considering how much music was ... see all copies from £7.22! new only from £7.22!
12 view cover	The Poll Winners (1957) more music like this by Barney Kessel/Shelly Manne/Ray Brown If the picture of three grown men hanging onto giant, colored swirl sticks looks a bit odd, or if the title The Poll Winners seems a bit conceited, the music, nonetheless -- recorded in 1957 -- still sounds great in 2002. Besides, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Shelly Manne really did win polls in Down Beat, Playboy, and ... see all copies from £7.82! new only from £7.82!
13 view cover	The Poll Winners Ride Again (1959) more music like this by Barney Kessel with Shelly Manne and Ray Brown Guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Shelly Manne were dubbed "the Poll Winners" when they swept the Down Beat, Metronome, and Playboy polls during 1956-1957. They recorded several albums together and this CD reissue features the pianoless trio playing a variety of material, some of it a little odd (including "Volare," "Custard ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!
14 view cover	Son of Gunn!! (1959) more music like this by Shelly Manne While drummer/bandleader Shelly Manne's initial 1959 outing, dedicated to Henry Mancini's Peter Gunn TV scores, was more than just a novelty, this follow-up disc stretches the concept to the absolute limit. Recorded only five months after the release of Shelly Manne & His Men Play Peter Gunn, Son of Gunn!! sounds exactly like what it is: jazz ... see all copies from £6.81! new only from £8.44!
15 view cover	Boss Sounds (1966) more music like this by Shelly Manne Although drummer Shelly Manne was closely associated with the Contemporary label for many years, he also recorded for other companies after Contemporary slowed down operations. This particular Koch CD reissues a set that was cut for Atlantic. The 1966 version of Shelly Manne's Men (altoist Frank Strozier, trumpeter Conte Candoli, pianist Russ ... see all copies from £6.47! new only from £6.47!
16 view cover	The West Coast Sound, Vol. 1 (1953) more music like this by Shelly Manne & His Men Drummer Shelly Manne's first sessions for Contemporary contain plenty of definitive examples of West Coast jazz. This CD has four titles apiece from a 1953 septet date with altoist Art Pepper, Bob Cooper on tenor, baritonist Jimmy Giuffre, and valve trombonist Bob Enevoldsen, four from a few months later with Bud Shank in Pepper's place, and four ... see all copies from £5.64! new only from £8.44!
17 view cover	Lil' Abner (1957) more music like this by Shelly Manne In a follow-up to their hit recording of music from My Fair Lady, Shelly Manne and his Friends (a trio with pianist André Previn, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and the drummer/leader) recorded nine songs from the play Li'l Abner. Although Johnny Mercer and Gene DePaul wrote the score, none of the songs caught on except for the ballad "Namely You," and ... see all copies from £8.44! new only from £8.44!
18 view cover	Checkmate (1961) more music like this by Shelly Manne This LP from Shelly Manne is a bit different than his other recordings of scores. In the past, it was his trio with pianist Andre Previn that performed music from hit plays (most notably My Fair Lady). For this date it is Manne's regular quintet (with trumpeter Conte Candoli, tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca, pianist Russ Freeman and bassist Chuck ... see all copies from £6.18! new only from £8.50!
19 view cover	Jazz Lite, Vol. 3: The Newport Collection (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £3.04! new only from £7.37!
20 view cover	2-3-4 (1962) more music like this by Shelly Manne This unusual CD reissue has five selections from a date featuring the great tenor Coleman Hawkins, pianist Hank Jones, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Shelly Manne. Both "Take the 'A' Train" and "Cherokee" find the group at times playing two tempos at once (Manne sticks to doubletime throughout "Cherokee") and showing that they had heard some ... see all copies from £7.16! new only from £21.17!
21 view cover	Shelly Manne and His Friends (1944) more music like this by Shelly Manne Although this LP has drummer Shelly Manne as the leader, in reality the 23-year old was just a sideman on these three four-song sessions; one of the main connecting threads. Manne is heard with clarinetist Barney Bigard and pianist Eddie Heywood in a trio (including fine versions of "Tea for Two," and Bigard's originals "Step Steps Up" and "Step ... see all copies from £9.89!
22 view cover	The Best of Shelly Manne (2004) more music like this by Shelly Manne This compilation samples 11 of drummer Shelly Manne's albums recorded for Contemporary between 1953 and 1961 while utilizing a wide range of musicians. The free jazz opener "Flip" (no doubt dedicated to his wife by her nickname) is an intriguing trio with Shorty Rogers on muted trumpet and clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre. The low-key trio interpretation ... see all copies from £7.11! new only from £8.50!
23 view cover	Jazz Lite, Vol. 2: The Monterey Collection (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £3.41! new only from £7.28!
24 view cover	Jazz Gunn/Daktari (2001) more music like this by Shelly Manne Music from the movies and television are the source materials on this compilation. Drummer Shelly Manne's handling of Henry Mancini's themes from Blake Edwards' film Gunn -- based on the Peter Gunn television detective series -- yields an absorbing session that provides lots of open spaces for Manne and his quintet. Daktari is purely commercial ... see all copies from £9.33! new only from £9.33!
