The band included Jimmy Greene on tenor sax, Ugonna Okegwo on bass, Xavier Davis on piano and Quincy Davis on drums. This is Harrell's first live album.[1] A JazzTimes review called the album "a worthy addition to the library of recordings made at the Vanguard".[4] With the exception of the 1940 standard "Everything Happens to Me", the album consists of mostly new compositions.[4]
