Roy Eldridge actually spends as much time singing as playing during the ten standards here, but the solos he takes (although concise) have their explosive moments. With pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Eddie Locke providing the support, the music always swings in an exuberant fashion. This CD reissue, although not essential, is worth acquiring.
