The record
Guitarist Sal Salvador fronts a big band stacked with sharp New York players -- Charlie Persip driving the rhythm, Eddie Bert and Willie Dennis anchoring the trombones -- for a Decca date angled at 1960's youth-jazz crossover market. A snapshot of swing-era chops meeting a new decade's marketing instincts.
