For Living Room he assembled a sextet for accompaniment and recorded tunes by jazz composers including the title track by Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach, Dave Frishberg's "Our Love Rolls On" from The Dave Frishberg Songbook, and a medley of songs about Los Angeles by Med Flory, Larry Marks, and Ray Linn.

Murphy had established a tradition of including a comedy tune on each album and here it's "Ain’t Nobody Here but Us Chickens", a hit record for Louis Jordan.

The standard "There’ll Be Some Changes Made", which was a Sophie Tucker hit, Lambert, Hendricks and Ross' "Charleston Alley", and a medley of Erroll Garner's "Misty" and Johnny Mercer's "Midnight Sun" are included.

[1] Gerry Niewood, from Chuck Mangione's band, plays tenor saxophone on the album and flute on Murphy's own composition, "Full Moon".

The track features David Braham’s organ and fills from Gerry Niewood’s tenor, with cool solos from each, enlivened by Larry Killian’s congas".
