This release presents the complete master takes by Gerry Mulligan's original 1952-53 piano-less quartet with Chet Baker. These recordings would prove enormously influential and set the groundwork for many other groups. However, Mulligan and Baker's paths would separate afterward and they would not record more than a couple of albums together.

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Jazz great on one disc: Anita Sings For Oscar and Pick Yourself Up. Anita Sings For Oscar was also issued under the title Anita Sings The Most and was the only album on which Anita O'Day is backed by Oscar Peterson.
