The album features Brown on alto saxophone, Maarten van Regteren Altena on bass, and Han Bennink on drums.

"[3] The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 4 stars, calling it "a surprise and a delight.

All the aspects of his individual personality are revealed – what possibly impresses the most is the way Brown can move subtly from one kind of feeling to another yet hold it all together...

"[6] Writing for Point of Departure, David Grundy remarked: "Recorded in a stripped-down trio format... the pieces here are all 'structured improvisations'...

Throughout, the cavernous recording quality... and the absence of piano brings out the edge to Brown's tone, whilst also leaving plenty of ruminative space... Quicksilver and playful, Brown's transposition of a repeated phrase into the altissimo register in the title track – suggesting at once the unruly joy of the wilfully abrasive and the dedicated focus of a skilled improviser – is worth the price of admission.
