1920年代末のDuke Ellingtonは第一次黄金時代ともいうべき充実した作品を発表していました。ここでは、Ellingtonとしては珍しい、Wallerの曲を２曲取り上げています。またB1はDon RedmanのChocolate Dandiesでの名演のある曲です。Tiger Ragは後年までしばしば演奏した曲です。

1920年代末になると、Cootie Williams (1908-1987), Juan Tizol (1902- ), Bernie Bigard (1901- ), Harry Carney (1910- ), Wellman Braud (1899- ), Sonny Greer等が揃い、いよいよ長期安定時代を迎える陣湯が揃っています。

B7はTeddy Bunn (1909-1978), Bruce Johnsonは後年Washboard Rhythm Kingsを作って活躍することになるメンバーですが、何故Ellington楽団のpick up memberとこのような録音を行ったのか定かでありません。この頃のEllingtonは他流試合にも積極的で、Accordionを入れたり、Bing Crosbyをvocalistとして起用したり、Rhythm Boysと共演したりしました。
