This recording was produced in London, England during August 1927 featuring Fred Elizalde piano.

*"Way Down Yonder In New Orleans" was composed by John Turner Layton Jr., with lyrics by Henry Creamer in 1922.

Elizalde's interpretation of this classic standard bears the mark of his unique virtuosic style. Five months later he became the leader of the hottest jazz band in England with the arrival of American "California Ramblers" members Chelsea Quealey, Bobby Davis, and Adrian Rollini.
