Das Album wurde am 4. November 1977 im Domicile, München, vom Tonstudio Bauer aufgenommen. Die Besetzung war John Scofield, Richie Beirach, George Mraz und Joe LaBarbera.
Die Musik von Scofield in diesem Live-Set zeigt, wie reif der Gitarrist bereits fünf Jahre vor seinem Eintritt in die Band von Miles Davis war.
This set features some high-quality post-bop guitar playing by the immediately distinctive John Scofield. The four lengthy selections -- three originals and an over 15-minute rendition of "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise" -- find Scofield, pianist Richie Beirach, bassist George Mraz and drummer Joe LaBarbera really stretching out. The music holds one's interest throughout and shows how mature a player the guitarist was even during his early pre-Miles Davis period.
