Big Band with Strings arranged and conducted by J. Billy VerPlanck

Featuring the Loonis McGlohon Jazz Combo

• Joe Wilder, trumpet
• Phil Thompson, tenor saxophone

also arranged by J. Billy VerPlanck.

From the liner notes by Bob Jones, WQEW, New York -
"...So here, in her sixth album, is what a great New York singer has to say in a program of equal parts standard and original American popular songs. They were chosen for their integrity and quality, wonderfully arranged by Billy VerPlanck, and played by some of this city's best musicians. I love the album, and I think you will, too..."
"The Loonis McGlohon Combo joins Marlene on the five new tracks added for the compact disc version, and they offset surprisingly well with the big band tracks. Three of the selections feature the trumpet of Joe Wilder, who knows well how to enhance a vocal line..."
