their own right.

The present Curt Weiler Quartette is an example of what can be done when the right people

get together.

- The instrumentation, which conaista of niano, violin, guitar and drums, is rhythmic as well as sweet Added to this are four good voices with an endless repertoire of vocal specialties. Curt Wiler’s orchestra is one that likes to try new things in music. While at the Embassy Club, an unknown composer approached him with a song called “Daddy”. For two seasons, the orchestra played this tune for evety celebrity bond leader who went to the club. After two years Sammy Kaye heard the tune, liked it, and arranged for its publication. That St became one of the best sellers in many years la now a matter of history.
