From the back cover: The Narrator - The affable voice of handsome astute, 39-year-old Frank Evans has long been a soothing element in Los Angeles radio for jazz and general listening alike. A well-rounded man, Evan's background includes acting, writing, and production in radio, TV, and the Broadway theatre. At one time he taught announcing and jazz history at Columbia. Now an announcer and disc jockey for Mutual's KHJ, Evans has divers duties, both local and network, but his jazz shows are closest to his heart. This interest in his subject plus his fine vocal presence made him a logical choice to narrate this album.
