Henry Mancini
Movie scores by Henry Mancini
I was watching the 2009 version of The Pink Panther with the most notable Steve Martin. Over time, I have seen every Pink Panther film in the series (especially those with Peter Sellers). The Pink Panther intro and ending music is iconic. This, then, led me to the original Pink Panther from the early 1960s.
I am a huge fan of Henry Mancini. His scores are intriguing and timeless. His scores are original and his own. I am most familiar with two of his works, but would be remiss if I did not touch on the most profound score.
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Charade
The Pink Panther
The complete list of Henry Mancini's works can be found on his official website - Henry Mancini.
Of the three, I will choose to feature Charade. This film introduced me to Henry Mancini and I have long since been able to catch on to his work before his name is in the credits.
As of 1994, may Henry Mancini rest in peace. His music will last forever.
Enjoy the above video post.

Milestone Note
Creativity in any form is a forever love. Blogging is a forever passion. Niche blogging is a forever intrigue I strive to maintain. Set List is my forever. However, I have one another blog that reflects my other interest - couture fashion.
In 2014, I signed on as a Merchandiser with the fashion jewelry brand, Chloe + Isabel. I loved the jewelry and accessories. I enjoyed exploring the new types of products created by C + I designers that went beyond jewelry. I was always excited to land a sale and promote my Merchandiser business in my own unique way. In 2017, I stepped down from my role for sensitive reasons. However, the C + I concept remained with me.
Polyvore. In recent weeks, I have shared sample Polyvore creations in tune with a given post topic. My work can also be found through the Polyvore icon link just to the right hand side of the screen. With well over 1,000 Polyvore "sets," the majority are Chloe + Isabel themed. This is how I discovered Polyvore and how my interest in fashion has grown. Cue my new blog.
Haute Couture. Polyvore sets are primary posts that highlight couture and haute couture designers. I collaborate with the affiliate source, ShopStyle Collective, to create complimentary looks as posts.
Haute Couture as a blog has grown to be as special and beloved as Set List. Therefore, blogging truly is a passion.
So what is my milestone note?
As of today, Haute Couture and Set List are tied for the same number of lifetime posts.
Blogging truly is a passion and, as silly as this may sound, I just thought I would share.
"Always remember to play it." - Set List motto
"Luxury for the everyday woman." - Haute Couture motto

Slow down
My YouTube posts to date this year have been loud in overall tone. I thought, then, that I would slow down with the forever jazz classic, "Flamenco Sketches."
My question to you is -
Miles Davis or Chris Botti?
Miles Davis will always claim ownership of "Flamenco Sketches" and Kind of Blue. His work. His take on what jazz should truly be. Timeless.
Chris Botti is timeless in his work. Profound emotional charge behind every note in every song. Close your eyes as you listen to Chris Botti's rendition of "Flamenco Sketches" and wonder if Miles Davis is with him, performing the same song alongside.
My answer is Miles Davis...but Chris Botti is just as striking.

Follow up
"Monday Blues" reflected my interest in the Blues genre with specific concentration on Kenny Wayne Shepherd. "Monday Blues" was also a Set List archival post from 2010.
I would be remiss if I did not follow up with the post "House...".
"Monday Blues" linked to "...of Blues". This post will link to "House...".
I always thought "House..." "...of Blues" was creative. Alas, I digress.
"House..." was dedicated to Roger Taylor of Duran Duran. This post will be dedicated to Roger Taylor.
Always remember to play it!
House...
