This was Fitzgerald and Basie's second studio recording after Ella and Basie! (1963), and features re-recordings of two songs from the earlier album, "
Honeysuckle Rose" and "
Ain't Misbehavin' ". The two musicians worked together much more frequently during her
Pablo years than they had during her years on the
Verve label, and this album marked the end of a connection that had begun in 1957.
The
AllMusic review by
Scott Yanow said that "Basie's sidemen are unfortunately restricted in the Benny Carter arrangements to backup work but Basie has a few piano solos and Fitzgerald is in good voice and in typically swinging form".[1]
Some CD editions not only altered the order of the tracklist, also included two tracks without credited them: 5 and 11. Times listed on booklets and backcovers are also usually wrong.
