This album was one From the Creative World of Stan Kenton. The album featured an instrument mistakenly reported to be of Kenton's own design, the mellophonium (a mellophone that has been partially unwrapped to form a bell forward instrument), although his use of it brought the instrument to the fore. Kenton incorporated a four-man mellophonium section from September, 1960 through November, 1963, spanning 11 albums (subtitled From the Creative World of Stan Kenton). The instrument was designed and manufactured by C. G. Conn. Other companies also manufactured the instrument, but in different physical configurations than the Conn design that Kenton employed.

Recorded 13 March 1961 (2 sessions) and 20 March 1961 (2 sessions) at Goldwyn Studio, Sound Stage 5, Hollywood, CA.
