From the back cover: Sy Oliver and His Orchestra lift "In A Little Spanish Town" right out of the past into today. Sy is the famous arranger-conductor, formerly with the great Jimmy Lunceford and Tommy Dorsey Orchestra

The Frank Ortega Trio, well-known on the West Coast for its swinging concert touch, treat classical and popular melodies to the new tempo

Mark Monte and the Continentals play for dancing at the Plaza Hilton in New York City. Their two medleys reflect the authenticity of the Latin lilt.

The Accents express their feeling, vocally. This group appears on "The Hit Parade" each week. Here, they sing with Sy Oliver and His Orchestra.

Moe Koffman, the jazz flutist best known for his original "The Swinging' Shepherd Blues," and the Sy Oliver Orchestra play "The Shepherd's Cha Cha.

Melino and His Orchestra blend the music of the American cowboy with the driving tempo of the Caribbean.
