This was the song at the end of the last Winning Time Rise of the Lakers when they find Jerry Tarkanian's agent. Really well done dramatic scene with the music overlay.

Anyway, I love this version of the song and I am wondering who are the players in the band. Somebody is getting after it on the piano. I went down the rabbit hole searching and came up relatively empty. Kafka probably knows.

It sounds like the same group that worked the Sintara / Dean Martin sessions of the same time.

EDIT: Most of the swinger artist groups were known by their arranger (Nelson Riddle, Gordon Jenkins, etc).

Here's an aritcle on Bobby Darin's arranger. LINK

That's an interesting article on Richard Wess. Thanks for posting.

That track I posted does have the Capital records Sinatra feel.
