 Victor MizzySuites & Themes Release Date 2000 11 zz Label Percepto Rating:  Even if you don't know his name, you know his music from The Addams Family and Green Acres. Vic Mizzy created a signature sound with numerous '60s film and television scores that finally saw the light of day on this entertaining compilation disc. Assembled in two sections -- the first focusing on Mizzy's motion picture work, the second on television scores -- Suites & Themes represents the best and brightest of Mizzy's compositions. The disc opens with three cuts from one of Mizzy's numerous forays into the film oeuvre of Don Knotts, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. All the signature sounds are present almost immediately: fuzz guitar, vibes, syncopated brass, and bouncy melodies. Mizzy creates a joyous, comic edge to his compositions that will get your toes tapping. In fact, you're almost guaranteed to break into a smile by track seven, the rollicking &"Main Title" from a Phyllis Diller vehicle called Did You Hear the One About the Traveling Saleslady?. Other highlights include the surf sound of Don't Make Waves and the "wah wah" guitar over the faux-Western sounds from another Don Knotts classic, The Shakiest Gun in the West. The second section of the album highlights Mizzy's television music, beginning with crisp recordings of the themes from The Addams Family and Green Acres. While most of the remaining shows have been completely forgotten, the tunes showcase the creative diversity within Mizzy's palette. From the typewriter keys in the theme from The Secretary to the banjo in the theme from Pioneer Spirit, Mizzy always keeps listeners guessing -- and tapping their toes in delight.
