From the back cover: Ralph Burns, a native Bostonian, attended the famed New England Conservatory of Music. Early in his career, he established an enviable name for himself as pianist-arranger for such top bandleaders as Benny Goodman, Woody Herman, Charlie Barnet and Red Norvo. Since then he has conducted for such outstanding vocalist as Johnny Mathis and Tony Bennett.
From Billboard - September 8, 1968: Here's a mighty refreshing excursion into typical big band sound, with Ralph Burns, veteran arranger, contributing some standout scoring for the ensemble. Among other things, Burns offers here the first instrumental scoring of the Tony Bennett hit, "San Francisco," and this track along with "West Side Waltz." "It Happened in Monterey" and "The Band (Billboard spelling) and the Beautiful," can grab plenty of jockey spins.
