From the back cover: John Gart... A student of piano and composition with Gliere and Boris Levenson (pupil of Rimsky-Korsakoff), John Gart toured Europe at the age of twelve, accompanying a concert violinist and operatic singer.

He came to America and studied the organ with Herbert Sisson (pupil of Alexander Guilmant) and Dr. Clarence Dickinson, and soon became organist and conductor for The Loew's Theatres. Later, Mr. Gart formed a dance band and played at the Edision and Shelton Hotels in New York, and Ciro's of London. He has been musical director of such radio shows as "Big Town," "C.B.S. Work Shop," "The Lanny Ross" and "Kay Armen" shows – and in television – such shows as "The Robert Montgomery Show," "Chance Of A Lifetime," "All Star Revue," and "The Paul Winchell Show." John Gart is also a composer with over 100 compositions to his credit.
