Henry Mancini + His Orchestra - Peter Gunn Theme...

From the comments section:

@glennkaufman7228

My Dad, Bernie Kaufman is the "white haired" sax player in the orchestra. He did Sullivan for many, many years. I also recognize (I think) Clark Terry, Jimmy Nottingham (horns), Hank Jones (piano) and sax solo Artie Drellinger. I would go to rehearsals as kid every Saturday and mingle with the acts. All of these cats in the Ray Bloch Orchestra were close friends of our family, and would go from studio to studio every day during the week do record dates, jingles, etc. The best of the best in NYC through the 60's and 70's. I miss all of them, especially my dad.
