From the back cover: Skip Martin is one of the busiest conductor-arrangers on the west coast today. But unlike many of his busy contemporaries, his scores never have that "overworked" feeling... they are fresh – above all – they swing! Skip's writing and conducting have every player on his recording sessions blowing for sheer swingin' pleasure.
At the age of 17 he played clarinet in the Indianapolis Symphony. However, as with many of our best modern musicians, the love of jazz was too strong for him to remain with the Symphony. Before heading to the west coast, Skip played sax with Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and Charlie Barnett. His first arranging jobs were for Count Basie. After an NBC staff berth in New York, he moved to Hollywood where he has worked on several important films and TV shows.
From Billboard - April 18, 1960: The Skip Martin crew presents thoroly entertaining treatments of the Cole Porter score from "Can-Can." The settings really move. The score has been augmented to include several Porter tunes not in the original Broadway score. Set can prove a strong rack item.
