This arrangement is based on the stellar recording by Bing Crosby with Bob Scoby's Frisco Jazz Band on:
Bing with a Beat (RCA Victor, 1957) - see history below.
"Tell Me" - a brief history:
One of the first recordings made by a jazz ensemble, The Original Dixieland 'Jass' Band in 1919. Also a hit recording for tenor Lamber Murphy on Victor Record #45171 on September 18, 1919 (9/18 is arranger Dan Gabel's birthday!).
The song experienced renewed interest in the 1950s thanks to the hit recording and movie by Doris Day "On Moonlight Bay" in 1951. It was also recorded with success by Burl Ives and gained popularity in the folk/country music scene.
Revived once again with the original verse, Bing Crosby recorded it on one of the best jazz vocal albums of the 1950s: Bing with a Beat, with Bob Scoby's Frisco Jazz Band.
