This CD reminds me of simpler times. Of movies made in Panavision. Bright colors and good story lines. beautiful countrysides. And sexy leading men who had class and drank martinis. I'd always had a great reverance for Mancini growing up and now I know why. His music makes me feel good. Simple as that. No big political statements, no loud ugly words or ugly beats. Just uplifting, romantic (yes, Baby Elephant Walk can be romantic) fun music. Thank you Henry.

This is a must for jazz fans. The ever popular 'Pink Panther Theme' is of course included. Also the non-jazz 'Moon River' which is a classis in itself. For some reason, this is a 'surround sound' recording (how that could be when it was recorded years ago I have no idea). The 'surround' effect is not that great but it doesn't distract from a favourite recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for your next cocktail lounge party, April 13, 2003

Once you have skipped the all too beaten tracks of "The Pink Panther Theme", you're in for an exciting trip to Cocktalia. There are enough smoothy-loungey tunes in there to fill in at least 10 Hotel Costes compilations up to the brim. This is Henry Mancini at his best (oh, by the way, where is "Lujon" ?). Lush orchestrations, smooth vocals and all, this is pure (easy)listening pleasure. Had it been possible, I would have granted this record 10 stars+ !!!
