Johnny Mandel 1926-2020



Johnny Mandel, the composer-arranger for albums by Sinatra, Streisand and Michael Jackson was 94.
His unique musicianship--title themes for M.A.S.H. and The Sandpiper--won five Grammys. 
He loved jazz chords and woodwinds.
Players love his stuff.
The opening above is a classic.
