Shelly Manne pairs a punchy bop swinger with a TV-ready, cinematic piece on this Contemporary Records single — “Jazz Gun” snaps with hard-swinging West Coast jazz while “Daktari” leans into soundtrack-tinged exotica. Manne’s crisp brushwork and taut ensemble playing keep tempos propulsive, situating the release between cool jazz and his well-known soundtrack work of the 1960s.
