From the back cover: Les Elgart, often called the "trumpet-players' trumpet player," had his first ig-time job as lead trumpet with Bunny belgian's orchestra. Later he played lead trumpet with Harry James and with Charlie Spivak. Born in New Haven, he and his brother began their musical education early, under the tutelage of their mother, a concert pianist. During the war, Les served in the Navy, and joined Woody Herman after his discharge. Later he joined the CBS radio staff, and a few years later with his brother Larry organized the orchestra that presents such bright, danceable music on this record.
