The album is a collection of Cole Porter songs performed live with a jazz sextet and with guest trumpeter Tom Harrell at the Dakota Bar and Grill, January 19 and 20, 2002, St. Paul, MN.

[1] This live set of Cole Porter songs recorded in January 2000 at the Dakota Bar in St Paul, Minnesota also featured trumpeter Tom Harrell.

[3] This was the Grammy and Oscar winning multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, arranger, sound engineer podcaster and musical producer's only album with Murphy.

He writes of Murphy's performance, "Besides, the veteran singer is so risk-taking and distinctive that even the most overdone warhorses can be interesting in his hands...he also unearths a few of Porter's lesser-known gems, including "Looking at You" and "Experimental."

[5] Scott Yanow, in his book The Jazz Singers: The Ultimate Guide, includes the album in his list of "other worthy recordings of the past 20 years" by Mark Murphy.
