We know very little about Bob Tulley, himself. He is not credited on any other recordings although the liner notes indicate that he was playing „around town“ with Maynard Ferguson. Bob Scherman, in his liner notes, uses many superlatives, so he was certainly impressed. The other members of the group are a tad less obscure. Nash Maez, after Willie Maiden, the best known musician on the date, had played and recorded with Perez Prado, both before and after this date, where he most likely came to know Willie Maiden. He also played with Rene Bloch’s Orchestra after this date. He went on to play with various Latin groups and was on Danny Beher’s 1992 California Salsa album released on his Sea Breeze label.
Paul Binning and Hank Milo are more obscure. They both appear on an Earl Hines date for Nocturne Records from July/August, 1954 which helps date this recording since it is referred to in the liner notes. Willie Maiden was the arranger for Hines‘ Los Angeles recording session. Binning and Milo also accompany Earl Hines on the trio portion of the Nocturne Records session that takes place in New York on August 21, 1954. However, apart from that session or group of sessions, nothing exists other than the instant recording as evidence of their musical history.
Hunky Page is a bit more famous, though he may not have recorded even as extensively as Paul Binning and Hank Milo. Hunky Page is best known for being the house pianist at the American Hotel for over 20 years in Sag Harbor, NY, and for teaching actor Chevy Chase how to play jazz piano. He seems to have had an outstanding reputation as a jazz pianist.
