Dear Dave,
I suggest that this may be the 'A Touch of Ragtime' LP album on 
Signature BFW-40112 featuring (among others) George Segal (vocal/uke) 
Mel Davis, Pee Wee Erwin (t) Warren Covington (tb) Johnny Mince, Mickey 
Gravine (cl) Hank Jones, Dick Hyman, Harry Nisson (p) Bucky Pizzarelli 
(g) John Tropea (elb) Richard Davis (sb) Ted Sommer (d).
Plus Teresa Brewer with husband Bob Thiele [the famous WWW man] (vocal).
I have details for the various personnel/tune combinations (if needed) 
all recorded at the one session.
Which Mr Thiele writes about, at length, in his 1995 autobiographical 
book "What a Wonderful World' [what else?].
But not really giving us any positive discographal information.
Unfortunately, I've never heard the LP.
Kind regards,
Bill.
