Everest also developed a popular and jazz division that issued albums in the LPBR 5000 series (mono) and SDBR 1000 series that, for several years, had composer/conductor Raymond Scott, of fame for the television series "Your Hit Parade", as head and chief A&R man. It was natural for Scott and two of his Hit Parade regulars, Dorothy Collins (who was Scott's wife at the time) and Gisele MacKenzie, to wax discs for the label. MacKenzie was featured on a popular live recording done during her night club engagement at The Empire Room of The Waldorf-Astoria, while Collins was featured on an ambitious collection of holiday tunes with the Joe Lily Singers and Nathan VanCleve's orchestra (both alumnae from the Bing Crosby film classic "White Christmas") titled "Won't You Spend Christmas with Me?" Scott released several instrumental albums for the label, and teamed with Dorothy Collins for a joint effort, "Singin' and Swingin'", which was never released, although initial promotional efforts were made via television appearances by Ms. Collins. Other pop and jazz artists on the label included Nelson Eddy, Randy Van Horne Singers, Gloria Lynne, Woody Herman, Charley Barnett, Ann Blythe, Russ Morgan, etc. The label also entered the singles market with some non-LP 45 rpm releases by their contracted pop and jazz performers.
