Willie "The Lion" Smith is unaccompanied on these 1950 sessions originally recorded for Vogue and Commodore. The Vogue material includes Smith's friendly vocals accompanied by his matchless stride piano in "Can You Hear Me" and "Trains and Planes" (which salutes the services of Air France!). Smith narrates along with his piano salute to earlier greats (many of whom never recorded at all) in his two-part "Reminiscing the Piano Greats," a technique he would reprise on his RCA Victor album The Memoirs of Willie "The Lion" Smith and the Black.

Willie Smith the Lion was another famous Stride piano player of Harlem nights. He quickly stood as an unusual pianist and a wonderful soloist, a matchless keyboard tickler . He was given the nickname of the Lion during the rent-parties and the well-known cutting contests improvised at the end of the nights in the smoky clubs where artists confronted each other using their most impressive feats on the piano. In this night world of music, he was as the king of the jungle waiting for those who would dare to confront (challenge) him on the piano
