Hatari, Main Theme

The lujon, which plays an underlying repeating pattern in this theme from Henry Mancini’s *Hatari* (1962), may not be Emil Richards’, since he and Shelley Manne (who played on the score) bought theirs simultaneously. However, the Emil Richards’ lujon at LAPR sounds nearly identical and has the same notes.
