The two LPs here, released in 1959, were Mercer's definitive introduction as a bandleader. The playing is nearly all by his father's current sidemen including Johnny Hodges, Clark Terry & Harry Carney -- also a few legendary ex-band members such as Ben Webster.

A perpetuation of the Ellington tradition with rich orchestral colours and superb use of soloists.
