This is reminiscent of Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass, but maybe even more antiseptic. (True confession: I was obsessed with TJB starting with “The Lonely Bull,” and probably still have copies of their first four or five LPs.) I didn’t realize there were other bands mining the same veins. And trying to popularize the fluegelhorn no less!

Here’s a nice profile of “King Richard” (Dick Behrke):

Amazing that there’s a Bobby Darin connection!
