From the back cover: Now! – for the first time you can hear RED NORVO as RED NORVO should be heard. Never before have the glittering talents of "Remarkable Red" been so tastefully and artfully recorded for his millions of fans to enjoy. The miracle of STEROSONIC SOUND RECORDING presents a new and thrilling experience for the hypersensitive ears of our most discerning audiophiles. It represents, at long last, the complete mastering of all the technical problems involved in producing a super-quality high fidelity recording from STEREOPHONIC TAPE MASTERS.

The magic of STEROSONIC SOUND RECORDING will be immediately apparent to even the most critical listener. The scintillating movement of "I'LL REMEMBER APRIL" will produce for you an amazing "in person" feeling and marvelous things will keep on happening right through to the brilliant finale of "LOVE FOR SALE".

Seldom in the history of intimate jazz groups has a "sound" like this been obtained. Those of us who cut our "musical teeth" on the tremendous power of the Benny Goodman Quartet are going to enjoy the wonderful ensemble work that Red displays in this fine album. In addition to this, the pure, free, unrestrained jazz solos that you will hear are the stuff that gladdens a true jazz fan's heart.

Mozart's Magic Flute will certainly spring to mind when you hear the fantastic work of BOB DRASNIN, Red's flute player. Bob's beautiful jazz solo and his flashing cadenza on "Stella" are enough to convince any real jazz fan that here is a truly Magic Flute. Lest we forget, the inspired work of JIM WYBLE on guitar, BUDDY CLARK on bass and BILL DOUGLASS on drums are in sparkling evidence in all of Red's beautifully conceived and brilliantly executed arrangements. So set up your turn- table make yourself comfortable and the RED NORVO QUINTET will set up shop right in your living room. Relax- because it's NORVO Naturally!
