- The album was recorded at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. It was released in 1990 by Good Time Jazz. The genre is listed as jazz and doom metal, the latter of which is certainly an error.
- This album collects material from 1954 and 1955. Ory had retired from music in 1956 before being coaxed back into recording by Leon Hefflin Sr. in the 1950s.
- This record came out in 1990, long after Ory’s death in 1971. Good Time Jazz was a subsidiary of Capitol Records.
Kid Ory’s Creole Jazz Band was a seminal New Orleans jazz ensemble. They were one of the first historically important jazz bands, with a career spanning decades.
