To record these albums Larry Elgart assembled his famous 18-men orchestra to deliver the most realistic session. With 21 Channels at his disposal, the engineer achieved tremendous flexibility and exciting instrumental presence. The physical seating arrangement of the musicians was worked out very carefully so as to keep all sections of the orchestra in close contact with each other. This all added up to Elgarts idea of Music in Motion. The over-all impression, when listening to the results, is one of exceptional clarity regardless of the arranger’s complex instrumentation. The arrangements, by the way, were specifically created by John Murtaugh and Lewis Gluckin to further demonstrate the new 21 Channel Sound. It’s All Music! Faithfully recorded to re-create, on record, the famous—and natural—Larry Elgart bandstand sound!
