This particular track is Sammy leading, with a few exceptions the personnel from Rob McConnell's all Canadian band, the Boss Brass. Eugene Amaro on the tenor solo, Jimmy Dale on piano and Ed Bickert on guitar. Great cut and playable by a really good high school jazz band,

That explains a lot! Parts of the arrangement even sound like Rob's tune titled T.O.
