After his debut album co-led with pianist Matthew Shipp, Sonic Explorations, which was privately recorded and then sold, this was his first real studio date. It features a trio with bassist William Parker and drummer Denis Charles playing all original Brown compositions. Parker and Charles had worked together a lot before, with Jemeel Moondoc and some other bands. Brown first played with Parker in a trio with drummer Frank Bambara in 1987. He put together the trio with Parker and Charles for a gig at the Knitting Factory the same year.[1][2]

In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow says about the trio that "is a throwback in ways to the intense projects recorded by the ESP label in the 1960s, but it is also more modern, looking toward Cecil Taylor."[3]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Brown first record looked back to the frantic avant-gardism of the '60s and forward to a new, third way approach which combine that freedom and radicalism of purpose with a more melodic and expressive idiom."[4]
The Cadence Magazine review by Carl Baugher says about the album that "It makes a strong case for Brown's place amongst today's better alto improvisers and is another unqualified winner for Silkheart".[1]
