On May 28^th 1958, drummer Bobby Donaldson assembled an all-star cast of musicians including: cornetist Rex Stewart, clarinetist Buster Bailey, trombonist Vic Dickenson, guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, pianist Red Richards, bassist Al Lewis & the great trumpeter, Emmett Berry - who had graced the bands of Fletcher Henderson, Lionel Hampton, Teddy Wilson, Benny Carter, Roy Eldridge, Count Basie and with Buck Clayton & Lester Young backed Billie Holiday.

This session yielded two fine albums that typified the very best in New York Dixieland music. Lining-up either as a sextet or octet, the all-star ensembles perform a repertoire of New Orleans favourites and show tunes, with swinging arrangements and brilliant solos.
