It features John Tchicai on alto saxophone, Roswell Rudd on trombone, Finn Von Eyben on bass, and Louis Moholo on drums.

[1][2] In the fall of 1965, Tchicai lined up dates for the NYAQ in Copenhagen, Gothenburg (Sweden), Hilversum (Holland), and Amsterdam (where they opened for Ornette Coleman's group), with Von Eyben and Moholo substituting for Reggie Workman and Milford Graves, who were unavailable.

Only a couple of tunes... are reprised from the studio albums, but Rudd and Tchicai brought a hot batch of new pieces with them, as well as an artful deconstruction of Thelonious Monk's 'Pannonica.'

Rudd's forceful, searching lines move in and around the darting, visceral sax stings of Tchicai in a dance that's both elegant and explosive, suggesting how much more they could have done if they had remained a team.

They negotiate the twisty tunes on this set... with even greater panache, spicing their solos with a dash of ribald humor... bassist Finn von Eyben and... drummer Louis Moholo's more time-based rhythms give the music a less fractured feel.
