Three of the tracks ("Les" (mistitled as "Loss"), "Serene" (mistitled as "Sorino"), and "Don't Blame Me") were recorded in September 1961 for a radio aircheck, and feature Dolphy on alto sax, bass clarinet, and flute, Knud Jorgensen on piano, Jimmy Woode on bass, and Sture Kallin on drums.[5][1] The album liner notes list the session as having been recorded on September 25;[3] however, Dolphy was reportedly performing with John Coltrane's group from September 12 through October 1 at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco, so the recording probably took place earlier in the month, prior to Dolphy's departure for the U.S.[6][4][7] The remaining tracks ("Miss Ann" (mistitled as "Ann"), "God Bless the Child", "Left Alone" (mistitled as "Alone"), and "G.W." (mistitled as "Geewee")), were recorded on November 19 for a TV special. "God Bless the Child" is a Dolphy bass clarinet solo, while the other tracks from that date feature him along with Idrees Sulieman on trumpet, Rune Ofwerman on piano, Jimmy Woode on bass, and Sture Kallin on drums.[5][2]
