Hardly call this MOR (middle of the road) music jazz...Gleason was a HUGE movie and TV star who churned out so many Capitol "Elevator Music" LP's in the 60's and 70's...He did lead the orchestra though he couldn't read music...Songs he composed he hummed and they in turn put it down for the session players...La La, etc. is from this long airing CBS TV show and was used in many silent comedy bits...He wrote it...On the record he adds two monologues (tad full of syrup dialogue about kids)...The key to success to this album series was the Capitol promotion department along with some super talented players like Bobby Hackett and more...
