From the back cover: The story of Adam Wade's rise to success is, in its own way, just as fascinating as the Wade voice itself.

About three years ago, when he was 22, Adam Wade left Virginia State University to return to his home town, Pittsburgh. There, as a biochemist, he joined the staff of the Dr. Jonas Salk Polio Research Center at the University of Pittsburgh. One evening, after Adam had been with a group a year, a composer friend asked him to go along on a trip to New York. This friend had written some songs and, being aware of Adam's exceptional gifts as a vocalist, wanted him to demonstrate them for several music publishers and record companies.

Although the songs were the principal purpose of the audition, Adam's song stylings immediately caught the fancy of record producers. Intrigued by Adam's vocal potential, they asked to hear more. And Adam obliged – with a dozen of the two hundred songs he had memorized in his leisure hours. Within a few minutes Adam Wade, former biochemist, was signed to a recording contract.

Tell Her For Me and Ruby were among Adam's first, and biggest, hits. Immensely successful appearances in nightclubs and theaters and a number of television shows quickly followed. Today, he is one of the most sought-after song stylists in the business. Epic Records is proud to welcome Adam Wade to its label and foresees as even more brilliant future for this young man with a truly exciting voice.

From Billboard - July 7, 1962: Here are Adam Wade's fine hits from the Coed Label, which were transferred to Epic along with Wade's singing by the firm. And fine listening it makes. Fans will readily remember such titles as "Ruby," "Tell Her For Me," "The Writing On The Wall," etc. A dozen titles all told and the set seems a natural for brisk action.

From the back cover: The result is one of the most danceable albums of all time. It's one which is filled with not only satisfaction buy also surprise. Here is Billy May's arrangement of Bali Ha'i played as a bright cha-cha-cha. Here is Frank Comstock's tongue-in-cheek treatment of Bloody Mary, a swinging thing that brings back memories of Lunceford. Here, in fact, is the score of South Pacific in unique, varied, but always designed-for-dancing arrangements.

From Billboard - November 3, 1958: Les Brown's swingy, dance tempo treatments of the memorable "South Pacific" score are a stereo delight. Standouts are Billy May's cha-cha arrangement of Bali Ha'i" and an exciting Lunceford-styled treatment of "Bloody Mary." A solid buy.

From the back cover: The background story of Harry Marshard is as warm, vigorous, colorful and outstanding as his music.

It wasn't just one long jump from drummer in his high school orchestra to America's foremost society dance band leader. There was time out for World War II, where he enlisted as a private, served in the 42nd Infantry, Rainbow Division, and came home, after the Battle Of The Bulge and the European Campaign, an Infantry Major. This is typically Harry Marshard. There is a happy determination about the man that would have put him at the top of whatever field he might have picked. We can only be grateful he chose the wide field of music, where his contagious joy can be shared with so many.

The demand for Harry Marshard's music has grown by such leaps and bounds that he is now a big business. Marshard Music with headquarters in Boston, is one of the biggest music enterprises of its kind in America. With close to 300 top musicians and a many as 21 units under the Marshard banner, he can now furnish a dance orchestra of from 5 to 50 pieces for just about anywhere on the North America continent, south of the DEW line, and does.

Sketches By Skitch - Skitch Henderson

Simplice

Sketches By Skitch
Skitch Henderson and His Orchestra
Photo: Jon Abbot
RCA Victor LPM-1401
1957

From the back cover: Skitch has been moving toward this productive utilization of his mixed musical background for a long time. In the beginning he was a "longhair." He studied piano with Roger Aubert in Paris. His instructors in conducting were Albert Coates and Fritz Reiner. He learned harmony from the twelve-toned Arnold Schonberg. Then, with this unremitting classical background, he plunged into the world of dance bands and studio work.

His association with popular music, Skitch now says, was simply the result of a succession of events, the most compelling of which were his appearances as piano soloist on both Bing Crosby's and Frank Sinatra's radio shows, appearances which led him to form his own dance band under the urging of Crosby and Sinatra. After touring with this band with great success for a couple of years in the late Forties, he joined the National Broadcasting Company and, as a consequence of his work on the TV program "Tonight," he is now known not only as a conductor and pianist but also as a comedian and the possessor of a set of blonde, bristling mustachios of piratical proportions.

Meanwhile he was determinedly getting back to his first love, classical music, by making guest appearances as a conductor with such orchestras as the New York Philharmonic and the Minneapolis Symphony. His split musical personality is still going merrily on its separate ways – recently he was guest conductor with the Houston Symphony and immediately afterwards hopped a plane for Cleveland where he played at a dance the next night for the Heart Fund – but these Sketches By Skitch are a step, he hopes, toward healing the rift and solidifying his musical soul.

From Billboard - June 10, 1957: Bewitched Skitch Henderson glows out from this cover with a pixieish and salable smile and the contents are no letdown. The label's June S-R-O bargain package contains some of the classic standards in a listenable new dress of experimental woodwind scoring. Sound is tops. Interesting added color comes from a trio of French horns, and spot of the maestro's piano. One of the sharp mood sets of the day. Can do very well.

Verve MG VS-6001
1957

From the back cover: Ernie Hechscher, is what was originally intended to be a three week engagement, is presently in his tenth year at the Venetian Room of the fabulous Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. Born in England of American parents, Ernie was brought into this country at the age of three. His father was the distinguished Philadelphia author, Robert Valentine Heckscher, and his grandmother, Celeste Heckscher, was a past president of the Philadelphia Operatic Society and very active in Philadelphia social and musical circles. With this background, Ernie lost no time in becoming more interested in music than in school, and in his junior year in high school toured the R.K.O. circuit as a banjo soloist. At Stanford University he formed his orchestra in his freshman year and played his first hotel engagement at the Palace Hotel in the summer of 1939. He then turned to piano as his instrument and became one of the few leaders to use two pianos as a distinguishing feature.

During his long tenure in the Venetian Room, Ernie has accompanied and directed for nearly all of the top stars of the entertainment world. Nat Cole, Peggy Lee, Tony Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frankie Laine, Jimmy Durante, Harry Belafonte, Lena Horne, Edith Piaf, The Andrew Sisters, The Mills Brothers, Danny Thomas, Gogi Grant, Vic Damone, The Ames Brothers are but a few of the stars with whom Ernie has appeared.

Often call the "Meyer Davis of the West Coast", Ernie Hecksher has played for almost every important social event and debutante party from over twenty years. A columnist once described a rugged Heckscher week-end schedule where he not only led his Fairmont band, buy also played for three debutante parties within the same day. For such a special and discriminating audience, he has had to develop a style that would be most conductive to maintaining the proper gaiety, spirit and enthusiasm that are absolutely essential in making these gala parties a smash success. He played for high school graduations, college proms, hotel dancing and swank society parties with the same enthusiastic reaction. In fact, it is unthinkable for a deb in the Bay area to "come out" without Heckscher at the party, and doting mothers first consult Heckscher as to his availability and then fix the date of the party. His advance book shows major social functions three years in advance.

Mad About The Boy - Andre Previn

Hallelujah

Mad About The Boy
Andre Previn
Cover: David B. Hecht
Gown Courtesy of David Morris Company
RCA Camden CAL-406
1958

From the back cover: For a musician who will not reach his thirtieth birthday until 1959, Andre Previn has already mastered a fantastic amount of musical territory. First trained in the classics, than a successful composer and conductor in the twilight zone of film music, later a skilled exponent of jazz-edged performances of show-tunes and most recently acclaimed as a full-fledged modern jazz pianist, Previn has moved on from the conquest of one area to the next despite the fact that he might have had a very successful and, in some ways, rewarding career in his Hollywood studio work alone.

But it does not appear to be in the nature of this young Berlin-born pianist to rest content with any one aspect of music. He seems to treasure a challenge and if a challenge does not readily present itself, he will go out and look for one. Son of a Berlin piano teacher – where he was born on April 6, 1929 – and nephew of Charles Previn, well known as a conductor of Hollywood musical scores, he came to this country in 1938 and settled in Beverly Hills.

The classical music atmosphere that he knew at home was tempered by the American popular music that surrounded him at Beverly Hills High School. This taste for the music of his new homeland was amplified when he discovered the work of Teddy Wilson and Art Tatum and began to acquire some of the feeling of their playing. He moved straight out of high school to the movie studios but he continued to develop his talents as a polished piano soloist who could draw on both a legitimate background and the subtle refinements of American Jazz.
