The eventful career of Johnny Mandel is grounded by a thorough background in music that has resulted in his being acclaimed in the pantheon of American composers, arrangers, record producers and songwriters.
In 1953 he joined the Count Basie Orchestra on trombone, shortly after Basie had reformed his orchestra and remained for a year, although he first started writing for the Basie band in 1952 and continued to write for the band until 1956 as "The Most Explosive Force in Jazz" returned to prominence.
Perhaps of greater importance is the fact that the Unforgettable track arranged by Mandel won Grammys for "Album of the Year," "Record of the Year" and "Song of the Year," and the album received an unprecedented seven Grammys.

 Johnny Mandel : MASH - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Instead, Johnny Mandel's work largely involved arranging period tunes and effect music (especially military and football-related themes), although he also wrote a memorable main title theme ("Suicide Is Painless"), which proved to be a gold mine many times over with its use in the long-running television series spawned two years after the movie.
The "Theme From M*A*S*H," as it's usually known, is heard in several different arrangements, including the often heard jazz version by Ahmad Jamal, and its very first appearance, with its thoroughly depressing lyric sung in the style of the Lettermen (vocals credited to "The Mash").
The rest is primarily incidental music evoking the period and setting within the film and the ironies behind its violent, comical action, arranged by Mandel, all interspersed with extended dialogue sequence.

 Johnny Mandel and Gerry Mulligan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Instead of the expected instruments, he gave lead parts to such seldom heard instruments as the contra-bass clarinet, bass trumpet, bass flute and contra bassoon, among others, making for a wild and disquieting sound that, at times (such as in "Gas Chamber Unveiling") becomes nightmarish in its brooding intensity.
The seven-piece Mulligan-led aggregation takes Mandel's themes and lays down great grooves with them, letting loose with extended solos unrestricted by the necessity of adhering to scene lengths.
Mulligan and Art Farmer are in fine fettle, Red Mitchell's bass provides a firm and melodic support, and the voicings and harmonies are clean and sweet.

Indeed, the best of Sims's later works rank with those that came out in what presumably was his physical peak as a player--the 1950s.
Here, the 59-year-old tenor player tackles a half-dozen Johnny Mandel compositions, interspersing languid ballads ("Emily" and "Zoot," the latter written with Sims in mind and a perfect fit for his rich, expressive playing) with jauntier exercises (the title track, "Cinnamon and Cloves").
'Quietly There', which is devoted to Johnny Mandel themes, was one of his final sessions.

 Fred Hersch : I Never Told You: Fred Hersch Plays Johnny Mandel - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
During the 1990s, many jazz musicians considered Johnny Mandel as one of the greatest living composers, but this solo outing by Fred Hersch is one of the few releases that sticks exclusively to his compositions.
But Hersch's most captivating interpretation of Mandel's music is his duo piano version of "Seascape," which he created by overdubbing a second track.
All in all, this is a superb release that can especially benefit those new to jazz; the combination of a master composer and an inspired interpreter make for enjoyable listening.
