Cut in the birth pangs of Electric Fusion and Afro-Funk, West Coast drummer Shelly Manne’s brilliant score for the popular ‘60’s TV series Daktari still stands as a global fusion landmark. The heavy use of the Marimba with various percussion instruments serves the score well and makes it a huge success. On the album, Mike Wofford plays a tack piano to evoke an African sound, and Manne is joined by percussionists Emil Richards, Larry Bunker, Frank Carlson, and Victor Feldman.
