Surprisingly, Ella and the Basie band had only recorded together once before, on the 1957 album One O'Clock Jump.
This album is revered alongside Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie! (1961), Ella Fitzgerald Sings Songs from Let No Man Write My Epitaph (1960), Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Songbook (1959), and Ella in Hollywood (1961) as one of Ella's greatest recordings. The album was rated the 175th best album of the 1960s by Pitchfork.[4]
