From the back cover: The king of velvet-toned jazz has recorded another collection of haunting, provocative melodies which linger in a nostalgic, love-filled realm of blue mist. Here is that genius of the tenor sax playing with and conducting his own flawless orchestra in a presentation of mood music unequaled for its romantically poetic themes and captivating mellowness.
Sam "The Man" Taylor, accompanied by his magical tenor sax and eloquent orchestra, has made a musical journey through those hidden melodies which tell of dreams, desire, love-found, and love-lost. And from this exciting excursion through the sensuous and the cherished, MGM Records has produced an album which brilliantly evokes all the diamond-clear and velvet-soft tones that fly from the wizardry of jazz- king Sam "The Man" Taylor's conducting and his masterful playing of the tenor sax.
