THE LATIN SOUND OF HENRY
MANCINI All music arranged by Mr. Mancini Recorded in RCA's Music Centre of the World, Hollywood, California Recording Engineers: Jim Malloy and Rick Bogert This is DYNAGROOVE Dynagroove records are the product of RCA's newly developed system of recording which provides a spectacular improvement in the sound quality. CHARACTERISTICS: 1. Brilliance and clarity—the original sound in startling definition 2. Realistic presence — sound projected in "photographic" perspective 3. Full-bodied tone—even when you listen at low level 4. Surface noise virtually eliminated! 5. Inner-groove distortion virtually eliminated! To solve these old and obstinate problems in disc recording, highly ingenious computers — "electronic brains" — have been introduced to audio for the first time. These remarkable new electronic devices and processes grew out of an intense research programme which produced notable advances in virtually every &step of the recording science.The final test of any record is in the listening—compare the sound of Dynagroove recordings! To minimise rhythm in a collection of Latin tunes would be as foolhardy as trying to downplay ihe importance of a beat in jazz. But to show the proper respect for melody is a chorus of a different colour. What we have here is a superb example of balance that puts melody and rhythm each in proper focus.As a melodist, Mancini is in a class by himself, the master of the broad, flowing line that distinguishes such classics as Dear Heart, Days of Wine and Roses and Moon River. In the rhythm department, Mancini holds the enviable reputation for infusing every type of ensemble with a vital, pulsating beat. For THE LATIN SOUND OF HENRY MANCINI,his arranging talents create a sophisticated outpouring of melody over an infectious foundation of cross rhythms. No stranger to Latin declensions, Mancini. turned a deft ear to theidiom once before in MR. LUCKY GOES LATIN. A similar reference to his TV scoring can be found in this album with "Senor" Peter Gunn. Other highlights demonstrate Mancini's genius for orchestration. In Baia the lonesomesound of the French horn and the luxurious blend of divided strings alternate over the song's built-in riff. Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps features some tasteful guitar comments against the percussive jabs of a slow cha-cha. A jazz-oriented flute solo also meanders through the rhythmic maze. A tropical atmosphere is sustained in Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars as an electric organ is integrated with the undulating strings. And the lilting melody of Preciosa is given an added aural dimension by clever use of specially tuned honky-tonk piano combined with the Portuguese guitar.With a regard for melody that only a com-poser can lavish, THE LATIN SOUND OF HENRY MANCINI combines a wealth of orchestral colourations with a provocative rhythmic flavouring to produce what may seem atypically Latin . . . but typically Mancini.
