From the back cover: Since 1947, the members of The Original Salty Dogs have been leading traditional jazz crusaders in the Midwest. Countless numbers of jazz enthusiasts have enjoyed the music of this unique group. It is unique in that to its fans, the band's brand of authentic, complete arrangements sound to be the well-rehearesed, polished work of full-time musicians; in reality, the band is composed of part-time musicians, each member pursing a full-time career in the business world.

Over the years, some of the faces have changed; during collegiate days at Purdue, often-times in a one-year period, half of the band would graduate (or drop out) only to be replaced by waiting, novice jazzmen. Since 1962, the personnel has remained constant in that after college, the present members of the band settled in the Chicago area playing numerous weekend club dates and jazz concerts. The tradition set down in 1947 has withstood all of these changes and today, The Original Salty Dogs Jazz Band continues to approach jazz with the same vigor and dedication as those members who have gone before.
