The first recording session was on July 31, 1985, in New York City.[1] In addition to John Hicks on piano and Elise Wood on flute, bassist Walter Booker and drummer Jimmy Cobb played on three tracks, and tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan played on two.[1] For the second session, in the same city in September 1988, Booker and drummer Alvin Queen played on two tracks.[1] On the tracks, Hicks "has a reflective, lyrical bent".[2]
The album was originally released by Nilva Records.[1] It was reissued by Evidence Music, with four bonus tracks from the two original recording sessions added.[1]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that the album was "Attractive but disconcertingly low-key".[3]
