Arranger
"The arrangers that he worked with knew what styles he liked. There was another local guy around, and he happened to be from Wichita too, name of John Pope. He also played trumpet, I don’t know if he could play piano or not, but he could set down and write beautiful arrangments, but he couldn’t stay away from the bottle. Warren worked with him a lot and tried to keep him busy so he didn’t have time to do these self-destructive things." -Richard Wilson
"But Warren loved his arrangements. He did a Glen Miller style voicing for certain sections of the band. He could just whip em out. He’d call Warren from Chicago or Las Vegas or somewhere and say he was low on cash, so Warren would say, “OK. Send me an arrangement of certain songs” and he would send him the money." -Jan Durrett
