Ernie Heck At The Fabulous Fairmont

 

Sophisticated Swing

Ernie Heckscher At The Fabulous Fairmont
Verve Records MG V-4020
1958

From the back cover: High atop Nob Hill stands the Fabulous Fairmont, a symbol of the grace and elegance that is San Francisco. In the magnificent Venetian Room, where the top stars of the entertainment world appear nightly, Ernie is now in the tenth year of his record breaking engagement. Dancers and visitors from all parts of the world have acclaimed his matchless rhythm and the versatility of his superb orchestra.

From Billboard - October 27, 1958: Ernie Heckscher, for the past decade the nabob of Nob Hill, is heard in a characteristic set of hotel-styled dance medleys which have kept them filling the floor at San Francisco's Fairmont. Based on the brisk business enjoyed by his earlier package, the 29 standards packed into this album will attract a healthy share of the society band buying clan.
