Recorded for Roulette on two consecutive days April 3 & 4, 1961 in New York, Ellington, Armstrong and four fellow musicians including Barney Bigard (cl), Trummy Young (tb), Mort Herbert (b) and Danny Barcelona (d) recorded a total of 17 tracks, enough for two albums. The present LP was released in 1961, while its companion album, entitled "The Great Reunion," was put on the market in 1963.
