This is the debut album as a leader from Bennie Maupin, whose seminal contributions to iconic records include Miles Davis's Bitches Brew, Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi and Head Hunters, and Marion Brown's Afternoon of a Georgia Faun.

Recorded in New York in 1974, Down Beat magazine described this as "the most selfless album ever recorded," and the sound is superb, with all players striving for thorough fusion.

Though the band's members were drawn from Herbie Hancock's circle at the time, the music possesses its own unique character.
