Sounds! (subtitled The Sensitive Guitar and Exciting Percussion of Jack Marshall and Shelly Manne) is an album by drummer Shelly Manne and guitarist Jack Marshall released in early 1966 on the Capitol label.[1] The album follows Sounds Unheard Of!, the duo's 1962 stereo test and demonstration record released on Contemporary.
Allmusic rated the album with 3 stars.[2] On Audiophilia.com, Roy Harris wrote: "While the goal of the producer probably was the maximization of sound quality, it may have led to an unintended consequence, namely the subservience of the music to the sound. While the cause may have been percussion 'pyrotechnics', I found the novel and unusual arrangements of familiar melodies interesting, and not indicative of a devaluation of the musical content".[3]
