Born in 1909 he was a sideman and arranger for Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Raymond Scott and Claude Thornhill, and arranged hit recordings for Dinah Shore and Eddie Fisher, He was music director successively for the MGM, Columbia and RCA labels during the 4'40s & '50s, working with a host of major artists arranging and producing their hits, as well as recording a string of top class and extremely popular orchestral albums under his own name.
