Isle Of Golden Dreams
Wayne King And His Orchestra
Decca DL 78496
1959

From the back cover: As everyone knows, Wayne King has been famous for years. He was a skilled musician even before someone discovered that his initials, as well as his love for three-quarter time music, earned him the title of Waltz King. After graduating from Valparaiso University, King directed a band for local dances and began playing in Chicago ballrooms. The radio made Wayne King and his organization nationally celebrated. Voted radio's Number One musical show, the Wayne King Band was also heard in the finest nightclubs and hotels. When it appeared on television it was a spontaneous hit and received awards from clubs and critics.

The "Isle Of Golden Dreams" will delight all listeners. The titles are familiar to all Wayne King lovers – and any listener who may be hearing King for the first time will be equally enthusiast. One of the features of this album is the brilliant trombone work by Tommy Shepard. Although Tommy is not exactly a newcomer, he snow attaining the eminence as a soloist which he rightly deserves. A new Coral album, "Shepard's Flock," is devoted to him... Equally noteworthy are the arrangements by Wayne Robinson. They bring out unsuspected depths and beauties of Wayne King's individual style.
