Thanks Garry -

Jack is a writer (mostly jingles, I think) in NYC. He's been around a long time. I'm pretty sure that this is his first recording.

About the band: Marvin Stamm contracted the band. Bob Millikan (one of my favorites) played lead. The charts are so well written, they kind of play themselves! Fun stuff. Featured soloists: Marvin Stamm (trumpet), Jim Pugh (trombone), Dave Tofani (sax), and Bill Mays (piano).

As with most recording sessions, everyone came in and sight read. No rehearsals. Luckily, the charts were so great - there was no need for one.

It was recorded at Clinton Studios. I'm not sure who mixed it but they did a great job.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Tony
