From the back cover: A word about the accompaniment on this album: The trumpet on "A Foggy Day" and "Easy To Love" is Don Fagerquist; on "A Fine Romance" it is John Anderson. Bill Miller in the pianist heard on "Be Careful, It's My Heart," Emil Richards is the vibraphonist on "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm" and Bud Shank (flute) and Frank Rosolino (trombone) are heard on "You And The Night And The Music."

Johnny Mandel, one of the very best of the young crop of jazz-based arrangers and conductors, leads the band and wrote the arrangements for each of the songs. A native New Yorker, he studied under Stefan Wolpe and at Juilliard, has played trombone with many bands including Jimmy Dorsey and Count Basie and is the composer of several well known jazz numbers, including "Not Really The Blues," "Straight Life," "Pot Luck" and "Hershey Bar."
