Bob Thiele designed this album as a celebration of Armstrong's 70th birthday, (although his date of birth, given as 4 July 1900 in the liner notes to the LP, is now questioned in several sources) throwing a large party for him in the studio at the start of three sessions which began on 26 May 1970. This explains how the album's opening track, We Shall Overcome, features a chorus sung by, amongst many others, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman and Leon Thomas.
