The two LPs included on this CD constitute the first two collaborations by James Moody and Kenny Barron under the inimitable reedman’s leadership and contains the complete albums: “Comin’ on Strong” (1963 - never previously released on CD) and “Another Bag” (1962 - only previously available on CD on a limited Japanese edition!). The personnel are: James Moody (as, ts, fl) & Kenny Barron (p, org: 4, 6) on all tracks - with George Eskridge (g), Chris White (b), & Rudy Collins (d) on the former album; and Paul Serrano (tp), John Avant (tb), Ernest Outlaw (b) & Marshall Thompson (d) on the latter. Total Time: 71:03. Includes comprehensive 12-page booklet.

"This is a swinging album by James Moody. It's one of my favorites. He's done some really pretty things for Dizzy recently. I like this a lot, especially the first two choruses, where he's burning at full speed. I like the guitarist too. I don't know who he is but he's got a nice touch and he uses a kind of vibrato which I really like. Moody always plays great. Moody needs to be a bandleader, like he was in the past...Moody is really underrated and it's a shame. Four stars." - Dexter Gordon, 1966 blindfold test for the track “Sonnymoon for Two” from the album “Comin' on Strong”.
