From Wikipedia:

Meyer Davis (9 January 1892 – 6 April 1976) was a society musician in the 1920s to 1960s who at the height of his career owned and operated over 80 bands with more than 1,000 musicians playing for him.

This album, recorded with his orchestra, was released in 1961 by Cameo Records. It contains interpretations of “Mack The Knife”, “Let’s Twist Again”, and “Rock Around The Clock”, among other songs. The uncredited cover design features text set in the dramatially inclined Filmotype Tailor. “Twist” is added in custom lettering.
