Downbeat magazine wrote of the Herman Orchestra: The band does perfectly what is called for in each case: playing with fiery frenzy,
cooking gently, or creating a mood.
The duo came together in 1963 to record several in the series of radio programs called The Guard Sessions, sponsored as a recruitment promotion by the US National Guard.
