From the inside cover: In this collection... Doc is heard in a fresh and unusually inviting setting. His band is a medium-sized group that is partly geared toward a thoroughly contemporary sound through the presence of three guitars (Tony Mottola, Al Casamenti and Bucky Pizzarelli) and a remarkably strong and versatile rhythm section (Dick Hyman playing piano and organ, Bob Haggart on bass, either Ed Shaughnessy, Osie Johnson or Bobby Rosengarden on drums and a percussion team that includes at various times Shaughnessy, Phil Kraus and Artie Marotti). But the group also includes a four-man trombone ensemble (Bob Alexander, Wayne Andre, Harry DiVito and Paul Faulise with Lou McGarity sitting in for Andre on three pieces) which provides a rich and sturdy off-setting cushion for the fire and brilliance of Doc Severisen's trumpet.
