Mentre la maggior parte delle registrazioni di Ella Fitzgerald durante il suo perdio con la Decca vedono la cantante accompagnata da grandi orchestre, le registrazioni radiofoniche realizzate nel famoso club Birdland di New York nello stesso periodo la vedono in un contesto più intimo, accompagnata da un trio con Hank Jones al pianoforte.Questo doppio cd riunisce tutte le registrazioni radiofonisce realizzate da Ella Fitzgerald al Birdland tra il 1950 e il 1952.Altre tre registrazioni radiofoniche del 1949 (sempre con Hank Jones) e una rara performance del 1957 con Don Abney, Wendell Marshall e Jo Jones, sono state aggiunte come un bonus.
