Johnny Mandel - I Want To Live (Main Theme) download mp3

This is the sound of my youth in California.Gifted jazz players and a gifted composer. I was so lucky to grow up with these guys.Shelly was my idol. My daily play alongs to this music helped shape me into a pretty fair jazz drummer. Thanks, guys.

It is incomprehensible to me how such an original, GREAT jazz score such as this is, was not nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Motion Picture Score for a dramatic film [1958].

As a very young man this theme introduced me jazz via GM a wonderful west coastjazz man.   To me he still represents the 50s & 60s. music scene.

One of the great jazz film scores; however, seems as if the record is "dragging" just a bit? If you go to the movie sound track, the music is just a little faster tempo. Thanks for bringing us this great group.

GM did another great soundtrack, much later,  for a canadian movie  entitled "la menace", with actor yves montand. i owned the lp, but could never find the music in the net. please help! any suggestions?
