From the back cover: Josef Albers, one of America's foremost contemporary painters, was born in Westphalia, Germany in 1888. After studying in Berlin, Essen and Munich he taught at the famous Bauhaus school from 1923 - 1933. When the Bauhaus was closed by order of the German government in 1933 Mr. Albers came to the United States to head the Art Department of Black Mountain College where he remained until 1950. After leaving Black Mountain, Mr. Albers took over the direction of the Department of Design at Yale University. At the present time, Mr. Albers lives and works in New Haven, Connecticut.

From the inside cover: The all-important percussion section is made up of Terry Snyder, Willie Rodriguez and Artie Marotti with Leonard Calderon filling in for Rodriquez on some selections. The remainder of the rhythm section consists of Bob Haggart, bass, Tony Mottola, guitar and Moe Wechlser, piano, while Charles Maganate and Dominic Cortese alternate on accordion.

The melodic body of the All-Stars comprises four woodwinds (Ezelle Watson, Stanley Webb, Russ Banzer and either Milt Yaner, George Dessinger or Bernie Kaufman) and one brass instrument – Bobby Byrne, trombone, on Song Of India, You're The Top, Blues In The Night and Mad About The Boy; Urbie Green, trombone, on S'Wonderful, Love For Sale, Mood Indigo and Ain't Misbehavin'; and Pee Wee Erwin, trumpet on Somebody Loves Me, Perhaps-Perhaps-Perhaps, The Man I Love and Fascinating Rhythm.
