From Billboard - April 13, 1957: This compelling score lends itself very well to a second styling of jazz harmonies and tempos. This interpretation combines Taylor's clean, precise, but sensitive piano with tasteful, modern ork support from Jones. With the show continuing to play to capacity houses and the music as popular as ever, there's a good possibility that this excellent package will be able to make it – even tho it arrives well after a previous hit jazz version by Shelly Manne with Andre Previn. Taylor's many fans will find this one of his finest efforts.

Wow. A jazz album with two tuba players. This looks like a very interesting album. The selection you picked was very good.
