It is the last of three albums to feature his trio with bass guitarist Steve Swallow and drummer Adam Nussbaum.

The album is the follow-up to his previous Shinola as both recordings contain material from the same Munich concert venue.

Except for the last track, a standard by Alan Jay Lerner the repertoire consists of four original compositions by Scofield that all run over 7 minutes.

During his following tenure with Miles Davis Sco would sign with Gramavision.

Swallow would serve as producer on a number of Scofield albums on which he does not play, and eventually as bassist once again with a touring trio (EnRoute: John Scofield Trio LIVE, 2004) on This Meets That in 2006, and Country for Old Men in 2016.
