Music in the Making collects a total of nine performances recorded on January 12, 1954, in London. The common link between the songs lies within the performers. Though the featured performers don't play as a unit on each of these songs, they alternate from song to song, forming different units from the roster of musicians. This isn't anything particularly innovative or special -- more of a gimmick than anything, a one-off recording session being marketed as a landmark moment. Featured performers include Jimmy Deuchar, Don Rendell, Ralph Dollimore, Jo Hunter, Allan Ganley, Johnny Hawksworth, Keith Christie, and Jimmy Skidmore.
