"I can't get enough music by Raymond Scott (is there any music more delightful?). When I saw this new release of original recordings of Scott's big band I snatched it up at an 'unbelievably low price'. I must say, it compares very favorably with the recent Metropole Orchestra/Beau Hunks arrangements.



Here is a short description and track list I found online:



Pianist, composer and arranger Raymond Scott was one of America's most original and inventive musicians who led a highly popular dance orchestra through the 1940s. Scott's tuneful, jolly music may best be remembered for numerous scores used for cartoon classics from "Looney Tunes" to "Merrie Melodies".
