Album Description A dozen of the world's greatest instrumental Acoustic Guitarists tackle the most beloved melodies of legendary composer Henry Mancini. From the brilliance of Grammy Winning gutiarist Laurence Juber's phenomenal display on the Pink Panther Theme to Ed Gerhards lovely arrangement of the classic Moon River....this collection will tickle your funny bone and touch your heart. Mancini's melodies are so strong they adapt well to solo guitar whether it be steel string or nylon acoustic ....and the finale is a brilliant duet on A Shot In the Dark. Winner of a GRAMMY AWARD for Best Pop Instrumental Album of the Year!!! Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews IC B. Reviewed on 6/30/2022... Just a quick word to say that there are two discs by this title, which are quite easy to confuse unless you play each one, and they are very different. Be sure before you request this disc, that you are getting the item you want. The disc with UPC 614145204829 is the one that involves performances of the Henry Mancini music for solo guitar, as performances. There is another, very similar disc that is marked "Acoustic Masterclass". It is a guitar instruction CD, based on the recordings here, track for track. Useful, original, even valuable -- the instruction is actually recorded by the individuals who perfom on this music disc, but it's not intended for listening, but for guitarists who want to learn to play the music here. This instruction disc was intended to be included with an instructional book by the same title. Caveat emptor. Happy trading.... 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
CD ReviewsTickled Pink! TBop62 | West Hollywood, CA | 09/01/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Pink Guitar" is a terrific collection of the all time favorite Henry Mancini tunes magically executed by "the world's greatest acoustic guitarists" and there's something for everyone on this fabulous CD. Think I'm kidding? Where else could a baby boomer like me indulge herself in brilliant renditions of songs ranging from "Moon River" and "The Sweetheart Tree"(which will bring tears to your eyes) to the theme from the '70s tv show, "What's Happening?" and "The Baby Elephant Walk" (and I dare you not to crack a smile when you hear these two)? Each tune is masterfully executed not only in technique but in the "heart" of the artists' respective playing as well. Great memories.... I hope that more collections such as "Pink Guitar" will continue to be produced so that these timeless melodies can be introduced to the kids of the baby boomers and that the brilliance of composers such as Henry Mancini will live on. Kudos to Warner Bros. and Solid Air Records for taking the road less travelled; in a smog filled world, "Pink Guitar" is truly a breath of fresh air. The album opens with the Pink Panther Theme, but there is no mystery here - this CD is a must have. " Pink Guitar wins the Grammy for Best Instrumental Pop Album!
