I think Plas Johnson (who also played sax on the original "Pink Panther" theme) did most of the sax solos, and Nick Ceroli may have been the drummer (he passed not long after this stuff was recorded). He also used them on his talk show as commercial bumper music. [/quote]
Nick Ceroli was also the drummer of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass (whose music was featured on The Dating Game).
