Bob Bain & Peter Gunn

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.
