Jimmie Haskell (string arranger) : When we went to Decca, a very nice fellow and good musician named Bud Dant was the official producer, although he did not produce the actual live recordings. Rick and I did that.
Bud came to the first session and saw that Ricky and I had a relationship that he would be wise not to change. So he never showed up at any more sessions but he did handle the paper work. Bud also had some say in the packaging and sequence of artwork and most likely was involved in some final mixes. I'm sure that the Decca people would have that in their files.
When Rick was at Decca, I worked with him for almost a year, and then after that we kind of started going our separate ways, but I'd come in from time to time, and at other times he would be assigned different producers. I enjoyed arranging and conducting more records with big orchestras, and Rick began producing his own records. And then there was the "Another Side of Rick" album.
