From the back cover: Credit for the arranging and conducting goes to Sid Bass, who is also a rarity in another field – he was born in New York City. He majored in music at NYU, spent three years in the Army Air Corps where he led several musical combos from the piano, playing hospital wards, radio shows, Officer's Club dances and so on. As a composer, his work includes The Old Soft Shoe, Greatest Feeling In The World, Pine Tree Pine Over Me, and many others. He has arranged for several orchestras, and he has coached and arranged for hundreds of radio and night club acts – all giving him the background necessary to arrange and conduct these numbers so they are not only novel but also musical. – C.
