The 10 selections include seven standards, "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You", "That's Aplenty", "On Green Dolphin Street", "Judy", "On Green Dolphin Street", "Somebody Loves Me", "Makin' Whoopee", and "Georgia". The three original compositions are modern jazz pieces, with elements of swing, bebop and cool jazz thrown in. Recording was made in March of 1959 and is Jerry's first session as a leader.
