Pete Jolly and Ralph Pena toured New Zealand in September of 1960. They were the first jazz artists to perform at many of the venues there, and were a great success. Their last performance at the Colony Club in Auckland on Sept. 18, 1960 was recorded and released on a non-commercial LP. This CD presents the full recorded concert, the LP tracks, plus two selections that never made it on to the record. This was a very fine performance before a very appreciative audience.
