Henry Mancini

I play citified Count Basie piano. As few notes as possible, my left hand in my pocket, that kind of stuff.

American Composer

Refers to things or behavior that show the influence of city life, often seen as stylish or modern.

Indicates a level of sophistication or polish acquired from urban living, which might seem out of place elsewhere.

Can imply a change in someone's lifestyle or outlook after moving to or embracing city life.

Highlights the contrast between city-like qualities and the rural or countryside environment.

Used when something looks or feels out of place because it is too reminiscent of a city in a rural setting.

Sometimes used negatively to describe something that lacks the charm or simplicity of country life.
