SPIKE JONES (1911-1965) and his band, The City Slickers, were capable musicians who specialized in parodying classical and popular tunes. They would often play the first half of a show straight, then reappear in strange costumes with weird instruments. It was said that you hadn't really arrived as a musical star until you had been skewered by Jones. HELEN GRAYCO was vocalist with Jones' band. Married to Jones, she appeared with him on The Spike Jones Show (1954) and released her own album, After Midnight (1957). Trumpeter RALPH MATERIE (1914-1978), who began recording for Mercury Records in 1948, formed his own touring band in 1949 and remained on the road for thirty years. Pianist PHIL MOORE (1918-1987) played with Les Hite and other West Coast dance bands before turning to arranging. He was the accompanist/musical director for Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge, and, as a studio musician, backed singers from Frank Sinatra to Marilyn Monroe. Moore also made several albums under his own name. Mounting sheet is lightly creased. Show through of writing and photos. Irregular left edge from removal from bound book.
