From the back cover: Outstanding among cruise-liner maestri is Geraldo, musical director of the Cunard fleet. A leading British bandleader, he reigned in the Thirties along with such other great British batoneers as Ray Noble, Ambrose and Jack Hylton. His orchestra was one of London's top society bands, that wonderful and long-lived genre that plays a suave music perfect for dinner-dancing, for discreet conversation, for the fun and games and party activities of civilized people on a night out. When the present Duke Of Windsor was still the Prince of Wales, Geraldo was more often than not responsible for the musical background of that gay period. His long reign as piper to British society is further evidenced by the fact that his band was selected to play for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip at festivities in 1955.
