About The Record:
Due to his two big hits in 1957, 1958 was a busy year for trumpeter/vocalist Jonah Jones, who recorded five albums for Capitol, including this final effort. Most of Jones' dates were based around themes, and in this case he performed 11 songs having something to do with cities, countries or travel, including Arrivederci Roma, A Foggy Day, Brazil, Chicago, Manhattan and Song of the Islands.
