Peter Gunn with Henry Mancini Roasting Pete Candoli
A clip from my personal family video to share on the Pete Candoli Tribute Dinner in 1990. Henry Mancini is speaking of his friend Pete Candoli of many years. Very touching and funny...The band was put together for the evening. This was at the Sportsman Lodge in Studio City October 30, 1990. So many wonderful musicians with Stan Getz, Trump: Frank Zabo, Walt Johnson, Buddy Childers, Steve Huffsteter, and Don Rader. Trom: Alan Kaplan, Bob Enevoldson, Ernie Tack: Sax: Abe Most, Jack Niemitz, Don Raffell, Lany Morgan, John Rotella, Jackie Kelso, Stan Getz Drums: Jack Hannah, Base: Dave Stone, and Ross Thompkins on piano. Pete was so honored...So many great musicians. . Walt Johnson with the great solo at the end...In fact they are all great!
