“Bill Potts is an originator in the truest and best sense of that word. It is impossible to hear more than eight bars of any of his arrangements without recognizing the man behind the pencil ...And the band plays with an ‘esprit’ and a precision hardly ever encountered in a ‘one-timetogether’studio ensemble.”
– André Previn (from the liner notes)

*****
“In this swinging big band jazz versions of ‘Porgy And Bess’ and ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ highlights, Potts' approach was largely to showcase the straight-ahead blowing abilities of his star-studded cast of New York regulars.”
– Richard Heffner, Jazz Sound
