Warren Covington was an American big band trombonist. He was active as a session musician, arranger, and bandleader throughout his career. Covington, who was born in Philadelphia, played early on with Isham Jones (1939), then with Les Brown in 1945-46, and Gene Krupa later in 1946. Following this he became a staff musician for CBS radio. After Tommy Dorsey died suddenly in November 1956, the Dorsey band continued under the direction of Jimmy Dorsey. However, the Tommy Dorsey estate soon took back Tommy's arrangements and approached Covington to form a new Tommy Dorsey band, which he led, touring and recording for Decca, into 1961. He died in 1999 in New York. This album was released in 1960 originally. This record is a 1973 reissue, and both the record and sleeve are in Very Good Plus condition.
