The young conductor-arranger-trumpeter Carl "Chuck" Stevens has skillfully blended these musical ingredients with his own trumpet solos, saxophones and a rhythm section to make a high fidelity cocktail to delight your ears and wet your toes atapping.

All but two orchestrations were scored by Carl Stevens. "Fascinating Rhythm" was arranged by Mike Simpson and "The Moon Was Yellow" by Bill Havemann.
