Disc One, Two and Three follow the musical development of The Gene Krupa Orchestra in chronological order with commercial studio recordings. Disc Four is made up of live broadcasts and transcription recordings, to demonstrate the excitement the band created before an audience and to provide an interesting comparison with the issued commercial recordings of some of the tunes.
