Don Wilkerson?

Sounds SO familiar...the eas guess is Plas Johnson, but I don't think so.

And if it was just "the man in the small print on the label" himself?

Heinie Beau? The leader of the backing orchestra.
He was a reed man and a seasoned session man, certainly well-versed enough to do his "white Maxwell Davis a.o." act here.

I thought about that, but I know him strictly as an arranger. This sounds like a real tenor player, with phrasing credentials out the ass.. Maybe he did that too.
