- Guitarist Bob Bain maybe an unknown name to some but a legend among the Los Angeles session guitar players. Bob started his career in the 1940s with the Tommy Dorsey Big Band, Harry James and Andre Previn. Bob worked on thousands of recordings in Film, TV, and Records. From Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra to the Pink Panther and Cat Ballou. But the most famous of all solos came with Bob’s relationship with Henry Mancini with Peter Gunn.
When Johnny Carson brought the Tonight Show to Los Angeles, Bob sat in the guitar chair for 22 years. When Tommy Tedesco was asked who gave him his big break, he always credits, Bob Bain. There isn’t a nicer man around. At 91 years of age, Bob continues to play locally in the Los Angeles area.
Thanks Denny for all the memories. I purchased the Blu-Ray DVD and it still wasn't enough of these great men and women whose songs I have enjoyed all of my 63 yrs! You should be very proud of your Dad and his merry band of musicians.
This is so wonderful to hear thank you for sharing The Wrecking Crew and your father and these clips with us. These clips and the movie are so worth while.
Rest In Peace Mr Bain... it was a pleasure talking guitars with you on the phone last week... such i sweet kind gentle man.
Very nice! I'm embarrassed to say I've played that Peter Gunn line wrong for many years, skipping that upbeat... no longer!
I never even heard it! almost a little too flashy having it in there.
Now that you mention it I *do* recognize him as the guitarist on Carson's Tonight Show, how cool! Great video.
I am drooling over that Telecaster with a Bigsby...
fender custom shop has released a copy recently.
Listen how woody and thumpy that Tele sounds - I fucking love it. I know the humbucker obviously has a bit to do with it, but those old 50s and early-60s Teles just had that more natural sound. Teles today have a tone so sharp and bright you can practically clean your teeth with it.
Who is the blonde female vocalist in the café band scene?

It's nearly unfathomable to imagine a true musician not being able to eventually 'get' how brilliant the Beatles were, as is the case here. They certainly surpassed the mediocrity of clichéd Tin Pan Alley changes and melodies by a landslide...
It certainly wasn't lost on genius Howard Roberts, one of the greatest guitarists ever.
vampyros1 Yeah, a refusal to recognize the brilliance of the Beatles has to be more of a result of the hurt pride, as they obviously had to move over to rock, from jazz.
You don’t have to enjoy listening to the Beatles, but if you claim the music was bad, you’re either jealous or not a real musician. Period.

Well said; I couldn't agree more.
The WWII generation had a mental block in regards to rock. It was universal that they hated it.
Strange... He played it different than the original recording.
