"Wow!. I was just goofing around on my computer and put my dads name in and found this!. I am Skips son Erich and grew up sneaking this onto the turntable when my dad was not home. He never listened to his own music, which I hear is common with "artists". I listen to this about every six months and my other favorite "swinging with prince Igor" which still moves me after the 1000th listening. If you really know your music, you will dig this album. My pop always used the best talent around on all his albums. The orchestra is full and for a recording made before I was born, it sounds great. I just finished his entire collection by buying great condition vinyl on ebay. Listen and enjoy.

Erich Martin"

"We did several arrangements from Scheherajazz when I was in High School many years ago. It seems our school band director and Skip Martin knew each other quite well. Back then, I found a vinyl copy of Skip's masterpiece which gave me the opportunity to hear it, not only in its entirety, but in the intended order. Unforgettable!



I lost the vinyl copy during one of my many relocations. I couldn't find a replacement and over time forgot about it. Some recent events brought it back to mind so I went searching for a copy. Luckily I landed here.



If you are familiar with R-K's Scheherazade and familiar with jazz expression of the cool and swing eras you will be utterly enthralled. Even if you aren't, I still highly recommend this. It's a joy to listen to.



Brings back some fond memories."
