Henry Mancini's response to the lounge-music fad whose beginnings coincided with his 1994 death is unknown, but his place near its center is hard to deny. The Days of Wine and Roses collects three CDs of often wonderful melodies (particularly on the composer's early work) and occasionally less-striking work-for-hire (the theme from What's Happening!). Irony aside, this box's soothing qualities and playful jazziness are worth investigating. --Rickey Wright

 Trip down memory lane... November 16, 2008
This is mood music....It takes me back to the 1960's, and it is very comforting to be now, as an aging baby boomer. Thanks, Amazon, for helping me locate this treasture!
 Just a passing breeze filled with memories. April 13, 2008
This three CD box set covers the career of Henry Mancini. Mancini was one of the greatest composers of film and television scores. Mancini did a lot of soundtrack work, but he also recorded many non-soundtrack albums, sometimes featuring material he didn't compose himself. In fact, Mancini's biggest hit single, "Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet", was not composed by Mancini. Most of this music is instrumental, but there are some songs with lyrics sung by a chorus. This is a good sampling of the music of Henry Mancini.

I've collected Mancini's work over the years and his music sounds real interesting and never be missed. This box set creates a retrospective or an entire anthology of tracks from his RCA years. What's missing on there are the catalog he did from Warner Bros among other labels.
The movie and tv themes are fanastic, the jazz cuts are superb with much space.
They'll never be another one, There is only one guy, one name.

I got this set, used, at a public radio fundraiser,as a modest extravagance.It was mislabelled actually so I am still missing volume 3.Quibles.If you are at all romantic,this should be in your collection somewhere.True if you are a pre atomic purist, the tight strings and phrasing,the pop time structures on some pieces and short duration times on others are a trial, but the magic is there.
Superb collection, but.... June 16, 2003

I used to think Henry Mancini was synonymous with schmaltz, but 1) I've aged and, in the process, developed an genuine appreciation for Mancini's marvelously nuanced and creative arrangements, and 2) now, in an era where any two-bit schmoe can knock out a modified nursery-rhyme on a Roland and it's called music, Mancini is elevated in the heirarchy of musical genius by comparison.As others have aptly stated, this CD set is both an exercise in musical splendor and bloated. It's as if there were two Mancinis: the jazzman, building rich and timeless, emotion-laden tracks (like "Dreamsville"), and the muzuk-Mancini, full of gimmicky schlock, often sung by plastic voices and full of dated sentiments. Both Mancinis live on this set. As for myself, I'd be much happier with a shorter collection that distills the better stuff. One inexcusable oversight: the song "Lujon" (heard on the "Sexy Beast" soundtrack, as well as remixes by Dmitri from Paris and the Black Mighty Orchestra, the latter found on the marvelous "Irma on Canvas" collection) that personifies early '60's glamour with its impossibly lush strings, is NOT on this set. Perhaps this is because it had not been created for a sountrack recording. Nevertheless, if you're looking for the perfect Mancini collection and, like me, prefer his classier and jazzier stuff, I'd check out other sets before settling on this one.
