Lalo Schifrin
Mannix
All subgenres, whether on film or television, get their start somewhere, and the days of the tough cop/investigator who bends the rules with iron fists are owed largely to Bruce Geller's \''Mannix.\'' The CBS show ran for eight seasons, starting in 1967. One of the show's lasting, successful elements was the music of composer Lalo Schifrin, who was naturally called upon by his friend Geller. It was Geller who had the idea of creating a sound for the show that didn't fit any of the normal boundaries that audiences had been accustomed to. After hearing the style he wanted for \''Mannix\'' on a radio jazz station, he conveyed that desire to Schifrin, who in turn translated the idea into a distinctive combination of waltz rhythms and jazz instrumentation.
