Shelly Manne And His Men Checkmate. Checkmate was one of the most successful TV shows of the 1961 season. Shelly Manne held the percussion chair in the studio orch. which recorded the Checkmate score. He realixed that most of the themes would lend themselves admirably to a jazz treatment by his own group. They are good jazz lines. Johnny Wlliams, the composer, is also a jazz musician, he knows how to write lines which lay just right for jazz blowing. Here with Shelly is his usual group Conte Candoli-trumpet, Richie Kamuca-tenor sax, Russ Freeman-piano, and ChuckBerghofer-bass. The record is in near mint condition and the cover is very good because of an open seam on opposite end of opening. (See photos).
