Background
Jack Pleis (1917–1990) was an American jazz pianist, arranger, conductor, composer and producer. Prior to World War II, he had been one of Jan Savitt's "Top Hatters". After serving in the war, he worked several years at London Records, moving to Decca in 1953, where he and his orchestra initially backed other artists including his wife Karen Chandler, The Four Aces, Eileen Barton, Teresa Brewer, and the Dinning Sisters. He went on to release a number of records, releasing seven albums of his own between 1955 and 1976, of which this is the sixth. He also arranged and produced many songs and albums for other artists.
Critical reception
Music for Two Sleepy People was reviewed in Billboard, which called it "relaxed, pleasant mood music". High Fidelity wrote that the "easy-flowing, pleasantly relaxed performances ... could easily propel any two (or more) sleepy people right into the arms of Morpheus." The album was also reviewed in HiFi Review and The School Musician.
