Barney Kessel & Shelly Manne appear by arrangement with Contemporary Records. Bud Shank appears by arrangement with Pacific Jazz Records.

From Billboard - August 18, 1956: Here's an interesting and swinging new disk that features Rogers in a variety of groupings. In only one is the entire nine-man "Giants" crew featured, but there is a lot of satisfying listening in the quintet and septet line-ups as well as the group featuring a four-man trumpet ensemble, backed with rhythm. Solid performers include Candolis, Fagerquist, Kessel, Manne, Edison, Vinegar, Pena and, of course, Rogers himself on trumpet and flugelhorn. A highly commercial jazz package with an imaginative cover worth plenty of display.
