The material featured the Great American Songbook and presented Tony in a new way different from his hit parade orientated material of the early fifties using a combo of jazz musicians. The album was arranged by featured guitarist Chuck Wayne and trumpeter Charles Panely and recorded between August and December 1954, it was re-issued on Columbia CD 85806-2 in 2004 although it had an earlier Japanese release in 1994.
