From the back cover: There is music, too, for the Bachelor at Contemplation. When the stag has drunk his fill, and the lone wolf run his solitary course, and the outrider comes home to rest, there is a need for the subtle companionship of music that soothes without intrusion. This is the time – and the tune – for planning great projects, for erecting the architecture of success, and for electing the next delectable feminine morsel to be approached.

From Billboard - September 8, 1956: Here's a subtle evocation of mood – music for the bachelor; music to sooth him when he's singed in the heat of the chase; music for his daydreams – such as "I'll See You In My Dreams," "Dinner For One Please, James." "Time On My Hands," etc. Great standards all – with lush, tasteful arrangements and an obvious understanding of the subject – both melodic and social. Cover features an absorbing photo of Jayne Mansfield.

From the back cover: The name and pleasing voice of Edna Gallmon Cooke have been known to radio listeners throughout the nation for many years. This popular artist has consistently brought to lovers of gospel music God-given messages in song-singing what she feels and believes. Edna, known to many as Mme. Cooke, began singing at the age of three. She traveled for several years with her father, the Reverend Eddie J. Gallmon, assisting in revivals and regular church work. She was a public school teacher and has devoted much time to the organization and direction of choirs and choral groups. During a choir rehearsal she was given her first opportunity to record. Her initial release was "Angels, Angels", in which she was presented with the young people's choir of Springfield Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. Since that first waxing she has enjoyed increasing success in the recording world and, through public appearances, is widely known for her stirring messages of faith and hope.

Fever! Doc Severinsen

Fever!
Doc Severinsen His Trumpet And Orchestra
Art Director: Charles E. Murphy
Recording Chief: Fred Christie
Mastering: George Piros (Stereo) & John Johnson (Monaural)
Command Records RS 893SD
Grand Awards Record Co., Inc.
1966

From the inside cover: In this collection... Doc is heard in a fresh and unusually inviting setting. His band is a medium-sized group that is partly geared toward a thoroughly contemporary sound through the presence of three guitars (Tony Mottola, Al Casamenti and Bucky Pizzarelli) and a remarkably strong and versatile rhythm section (Dick Hyman playing piano and organ, Bob Haggart on bass, either Ed Shaughnessy, Osie Johnson or Bobby Rosengarden on drums and a percussion team that includes at various times Shaughnessy, Phil Kraus and Artie Marotti). But the group also includes a four-man trombone ensemble (Bob Alexander, Wayne Andre, Harry DiVito and Paul Faulise with Lou McGarity sitting in for Andre on three pieces) which provides a rich and sturdy off-setting cushion for the fire and brilliance of Doc Severisen's trumpet.

Hi-Fi Dinner Music - Frank Barber

The Dagger Dance

Hi-Fi Dinner Music With Frank Barber
Recorded In London
Capitol Records T10082
1957

From the back cover: Barber is a Londoner, a youthful musician with a classical background and a generous respect for the past. His ensemble is small, well-rehearsed and superbly recorded in E.M.I.'s renewed London studios, the virtual "home" of British and Continental high fidelity.

Barber himself is a versatile and soft-spoken chap who is alternately heard, on this long-playing presentation, as piano soloist, violin soloist, viola soloist and flute soloist. His ensemble comprises four violas, cello, piano and two woodwinds. There are no saxophones, no trumpets, no drums.
