The members, Hal Dickinson, Chuck Goldstein, and Bill Conway, were called Don Juan-Two and Three, and had their first engagement at Buffalo's suburban Glen Falls Casino, with the Ted Fio Rito Orchestra. They then joined the Ozzie Nelson Band, and became known as The Three Wizards of Ozzie. They next recruited Ralph Brewster to make a quartet and, performing with the Fred Waring Orchestra, became The Modernaires. In 1937, they were featured on the Paul Whiteman radio show.

The Modernaires may have come to prominence during their tenure with Glenn Miller in the early 1940's, but they continued to grow and expand, becoming pioneers in the jazz vocal group world. Groups like the Manhattan Transfer came out of the Mods' influence. The Tommy Dorsey portion of this disc is a reverential treatment of some of the other trombone playing leader's classics. The blend of these five voices (with silky smooth Paula Kelly on the top) is impeccable, and their sense of swing and hipness is nonpareil. This album is quite a surprise. The stereo quality is quite good, plus the blend of the Modernaires' voices is about the best they ever did. The numbers range from slow and nostalgic-note Sunrise Serenade, Getting Sentimental, Stardust, and Moonlight Serenade-to very upbeat-note In The Mood and Boogie Woogie.
