This album includes the four-part Virgin Islands Suite, as well as numbers played at the concerts on the islands.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Although in his mid-60s, Duke Ellington proves on this program of mostly new music that he never declined nor lost his creativity".
