The album was released by Mosaic Records in 2013, and it features remastered sound quality, rare photos, and extensive liner notes by jazz historian Loren Schoenberg. The album showcases the development of Ella Fitzgerald as a vocalist, from her debut as a teenage singer with Webb’s orchestra to her emergence as a solo star after Webb’s death in 1939. The album also includes some of Webb’s instrumental recordings, as well as some of his collaborations with other vocalists such as the Mills Brothers. The album is a treasure trove for fans of swing music, as it contains many classic songs such as “A-Tisket, A-Tasket”, “Vote for Mr. Rhythm”, “Stompin’ at the Savoy”, and "Undecided". The album received critical acclaim from jazz critics, who praised the historical value, the musical quality, and the comprehensive presentation of the album.
