Catalog number on cover is Stereo A-62, label is AS-62. Laminated gatefold cover. Orange and black labels with "A Product of ABC-Paramount Records, Inc." at bottom. Impulse!, a jazz label and subsidiary of ABC-Paramount Records, was established in 1960 in Santa Monica, California by producer Creed Taylor. John Coltrane was among the first artists signed to the label, which in retrospect came to be known as "the house that Trane built." In 1964 Alexandria moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of further opportunities to perform in clubs and record, quickly becoming a featured vocalist at popular venues that included the Parisian Room and Marla's Memory Lane.[7] Getting signed to Impulse! Records was anticipated to be her jump onto the national stage after seven years of working with independent labels at King and Argo.[8] Alexandria's 1964 album Alexandria the Great, her first on Impulse!, was produced by Bob Thiele, known for his work with John Coltrane. Wynton Kelly joined her on piano, with Paul Horn and Bud Shank alternating on flute, Victor Feldman on vibraphone, Ray Crawford on guitar, Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Chambers and Cobb had stuck together in the same rhythm section since playing with Miles Davis on his classic 1959 album Kind of Blue.[9] Her rhythmic and melodic interpretation of lyric on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" redefined the texture of the composition and reflected her ability to make well known songs her own.
