Artist:  Jack Sterling and His Quintet

Title:  Cocktail Swing

Date:  195?

Label:  Columbia Records   HL 7202

Notes:  Gleaned from the liner notes it appears that Jack was a star of stage and radio. He hosted a three hour early morning show in New York on WCBS aided by a musical quintet. The music is smooth and just right for cocktail hour. But, of course you can see that I grabbed this one for the cover. You're living the hi-life there Jack my boy.

Line Up: 

Jack Sterling - drums
Mary Osborne - guitar
Andy Fitz - clarinet
