Well, yes, there was that, but I should have clarified: I was really referring to jazz or jazz-like scores to TV shows that received contemporaneous soundtrack albums. On “Peter Gunn,” for example, only the main theme and opening bass & drum section of “Fallout” were from the show. Mancini simply arranged a jazz album and called it “Peter Gunn.” Granted, some of the tunes, like “Dreamsville,” appeared on the show after the fact. This was somewhat typical with jazz TV scores, and it extended into the spy soundtrack era a few years later.

Yeah, same with CHECKMATE.
