The album is notable for the presence of Kansas City jazz drummer Gus Johnson in the rhythm section. Johnson played with the Count Basie Orchestra and the Jay McShann Orchestra, and replaced Clooney's regular drummer Jake Hanna. Johnson is teamed with bassist Phil Flanigan, who was at the time a regular member of Scott Hamilton's band (which specialized in pre-World War II swing styles). Chris Flory, also a member of the Hamilton band at the time of the session, appears on acoustic rhythm guitar for two of the selections.
