Lockdown Licks no. 386 Pink Panther Theme.

Played on an SC500 into a NUX M8 amp set to clean with some reverb.

“The Pink Panther Theme” is a jazz composition by Henry Mancini written as the theme for the 1963 film The Pink Panther and subsequently nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score at the 37th Academy Awards but lost to the Sherman Brothers for Mary Poppins. The cartoon character created for the film’s opening credits by David DePatie and Friz Freleng was animated in time to the tune. The tenor saxophone solo was played by Plas Johnson.
