Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the original DOT cover art.

From the back cover: Al, today, is one of the country's finest clarinet players. And the band, well, it's a far cry from the old "Dukes". Today's Lombardy band consists of three trumpets, three trombones, four saxes and three rhythm.

The engineering could have been worked out better. The sound is a bit flat, but could be excusable for an early stereo pressing, especially for a Design product. The arrangements, however, are excellent and the musicianship is top-notch.

From the back cover (seems like the copy needed editing... but here it is, presented word-for-word): Charlie was born in New Haven, Connecticut, twelve miles from Derby which is my home town. I speak of personal knowledge when I say that he is one of Elitown's best beloved sons... and certainly one of its best known. Unlike that other New Englander, Al Donahue, who went on to study law, Charlie's family wanted him to be a doctor. Could be it's because Harvard is best known for its law school, while Yale has one of the best medical schools in the nation. Charlie played with the early and great Benny Pollack band which was the cradle of many of today's very top musicians. From there he went on to the Dorsey Brothers great organization and his great trumpet can still be heard with that band on Designs' Collector Series Album DLP 20, recently hailed as the finest work of its kind with the original Dorsey Brothers Band. Other members of that group included Glenn Miller, Skeets Herfet and Bob Crosby. He left the band with Glenn Miller to join Ray Noble and his orchestra. After a stint of solo work Charlie started his own band at the "cradle of great band" Glenn Island Casino. He followed the Casino with a record breaking engagement at New York's swank Cafe Rouge where he promptly broke Glenn Miller's record. One of the few "big bands" to carry on through the period where the big band faded from the American scene. Charlie is still playing danceable music for millions of the nation's smarter goer-outers.

Melis Magic - Jose Melis

Melis Magic

Jose Melis
His Trio and Strings
SESAC Recordings
N 1705

Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the cover art, which happens to be an unusual in that the top 1/3 of the cover, the 2-color portion that features Melis, was printed and glued to the jacket (as a wrap around to the back cover). The jacket on which the metallic gold ink was printed is a "canvas" textured paper stock.

From the back cover: Jose Mellis (typo) is not merely a piano player but a multitalented artist. The millions who have enjoyed his keyboard exploits and ad lib comedy hits on NBC-TV's "The Jack Parr Show" may not realize that he is also a competent conductor, composer, arranger – a Jose of all musical trades.

Let's Dance - Johnny Long

From the back cover: The heyday of the dance band era has faded from the scene. The war, spiraling prices, home entertainment, television, the lure of big money for studio musicians all have conspired to bring about the demise of the jammed packed ballrooms, the countless famous bands and their unforgettable one-nighter tours. Few bands remain today from those glory years when all America was dancing. One of the survivors, and still among the most popular aggregations is Johnny Long and his orchestra. The band they call "Young America's Favorite." The famed left-handed violinist and his outfit continue to entice the dancers and the crowds still congregate around the bandstand.
