 To protect you from eyestrain, here are the sleeve notes.

In the world of music, the big news is the emergence of Dave Bartholomew and His Band as the best of the new swingin' aggregations.

Until recently, Dave was little known to the general public outside of New Orleans. Oh, he was a familiar and respected name in the music business--and had been for a long, long time. The many songs he had written, the fine trumpet he had blown with big bands, the great arrangements he had devised and the beautiful results of his writing-conducting-arranging collaborations with the legendary Fats Domino had many years before been recognized by the entire world of music.

But all that time he had been content to remain in the background and continue his harmonious relationship with Fats. Then Imperial Records prevailed upon him to record his first album, to show the world what a solid, swingin' big band should really sound like.

The album "Fats Domino Presents Dave Bartholomew and His Great Big Band" was released shortly before the end of the year. It no sooner hit the record stands than the world discovered what it had been missing, liked what it heard and rushed out to buy his tremendous sound. As a result, before long the music and face of Dave Bartholomew had begun a meteoric rise to stardom and discerning music lovers began to demand another album. And so here, in answer to that demand, is the fresh, modern, swingin' touch of Dave Bartholomew and a NEW ORLEANS HOUSE PARTY.

Success as a recording artist is just another in a long line of artistic achievements for Dave, which includes having played trumpet with Duke Ellington, performing with and arranging for [Jimmie] Lunceford and writing such song hits as "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" and (with Fats Domino) "Fat Man," "Ain't That A Shame," "I'm Walkin',"Going To the River" and "I'm In Love Again."

In addition to his aforementioned talents as an outstanding musician, composer, and conductor, Dave is also an accomplished arranger. With this abundance of ability, it is no wonder that Dave is quick to recognize talent in others when he sees it--and to encourage, sponsor, develop and spotlight such budding musical geniuses whenever he can.

It is this selfless philosophy that has led Dave to feature Wardell Quezergue, who does many of the arrangements for the Bartholomew band on this album. Three of the tracks are original compositions by Wardell, "Portrait Of A Drummer" and the two-part "Concerto for Alto Sax."

Three other originals--Dave's own "A Cool One" and the two-part "Sultans Dream" by John L. Brunois, plus the five standards included, give added zest and make for a perfectly balanced program for Your House Party.
