This collection features Sammy Davis Jr. as a singer at hisbest, blending superbly with the beautifully crafted work of arranger MartyPaich conducting his famous jazz Dek-tette and larger orchestral units derivedfrom it. Seasoned with the notable contributions of such jazz soloists as JackSheldon, Bud Shank, Mel Lewis and Jimmy Rowles, Paich’s settings were perfectfor Davis. And this is how they felt about each other.

Davis: “Trust is everything in life. That’s why I choseMarty Paich. I trusted his work with my buddy Mel Tormé at Bethlehem and Verve.Paich had this West Coast jazz-style approach to music. Together we made someof the best recordings of my career.”

Paich: “Sammy Davis is easy to work with from the arranger’sstandpoint. Why? Because he’s got such a fantastic sense of time and rhythmwhich makes for good singing. He has an excellent ear and is able to adjust toanything I might write for him. Once he hears a chart, he makes adjustments toit, which is the type of singer I like to work with because in a sense he islike a jazz musician, fitting his singing into the arrangement.”

That same jazz feel and great talent were marvellouslymarried by Davis and Paich on these essential sides, gathered here for thefirst time.
