In Orbit, recorded in New York in 1958 and released the same year, is trumpeter Clark Terry's sixth album as a leader and features Thelonious Monk on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums. It was Monk's only Riverside appearance as a sideman, the first of Terry's recordings on flugelhorn, and the first Riverside date with bassist Sam Jones. It features one Monk composition: "Let's Cool One." A fully analog mastering of the original tapes was done by Kevin Gray of Cohearent Audio.
