77 Suinset Strip sound track

"This album is outstanding. West Coast cool jazz performed by Warren Barker and a group of uncredited but highly talented musicians. I have always wondered why the musicians have never been identified because there is some excellent piano, vibes and horn work on this album. The German CD reissue has excellent sound quality. I was listening to this album in 1959 and still listen to it in 2004. Henry Mancini created the private eye jazz style ("Peter Gunn") but Warren Barker added greatly to it with this album."

"77 Sunset Strip was the first and best of the Warner Bros. 50's detective shows. The cast was above average, the stories, which were copied for the other shows that followed, were well written. After listening to this cd, you realize this album could have stood for it's self and not just background music. I highly recommend this hard to find cd if you are a fan of 50's big band."
