From the back cover: The magic beat and the exciting arrangement of Ernie Fields' recording of "In The Mood" made it one of the most successful and longest lasting hits of 1959 and, as a result, captured the heart and the feet of dancers all across the nation.

This thrilling "new sound" with its infectious tempo has catapulted Ernie Fields into a position of national prominence and he was recently honored by placing high in Cashbox Magazine's 1959 Poll for the "Best Pop Orchestra." Currently riding the crest of popularity in this country, the record is now rapidly becoming a bit hit all over the world.

An accomplished musician, Ernie plays trombone besides fronting the orchestra. He surrounds himself with some of the finest musicians available and he takes pride in allowing each individual to display his versatility.

In addition to a busy schedule of dance hops, where excited fans ask for more and more, the orchestra has been featured on the Dick Clark Show and regularly tours Service Bases, Campuses, Nightclubs and Theaters from Coast-to-Coast. – Dick Miller
