• Back in 1958 Bob Thompson created a jazz-influenced choral-orchestral sound he could justifiably call his own. The chorus, thanks to Thompson’s astute conception, became an integrated section of the orchestra. This collection presents the three great albums he recorded for RCA Victor, including a batch of choice standards and several of Thompson’s own compositions, all light-hearted and with the infectious flavor that was his signature. A prime example of what later became known as space age pop

• Featured soloists: Don Fagerquist (tp), Ted Nash, Bud Shank, Pete Candoli, Ronny Lang (saxes), Milt Bernhart, Frank Rosolino (tb), Larry Bunker (vib), Howard Roberts (g), Red Mitchell (b), Shelly Manne (d)
