LINER NOTES:
This album might have been entitled :What Makes Pee Wee Hunt?" - for it contains a dozen perfect examples of the happy, danceable style of music which has made Pee Wee a favorite of millions for lo,  these many years. Actually , there's very little "hunting" involved in the music that foxy Pee Wee and his boys play. You never have to search for the beat, because it's always right there, to the everlasting delight of the dancers in the crowd. And one certainly doesn't need a pack of bloodhounds to track down the melody, either. Pee Wee prefers the tried and true standards, the tunes that people want to hear over and over again, and although the Hunt crew does some pretty tasty improvising on each number, they are usually content to let a familiar melody stay that way.

Here, in a pleasantly varied assortment of dance tempos, the jolly "Huntsman" offer a program made up almost entirely of old-time favorites like Jealous, Ain't Misbehavin', and Am I Blue, as well as such Dixieland specials as Royal Garden Blues and Muskrat Ramble, played in Pee Wee's most rollicking two-beat manner. And the genial maestro even sets aside his mellow trombone to sing a couple of numbers, including Mack The Knife, the only modern-day hit among this great collection of all-timers.

So come along to Pee Wee;s happy hunting ground, where the dancing is great and the listening's even better. This fine album is all the license you'll need.

This monophonic microgroove recording is playable on monophonic and stereo phonographs. It cannot become obsolete. It will continue to be a source of outstanding reproduction, providing the finest monophonic performance from any phonograph.
