The album was recorded on August 20 and 21, 1996, at Avatar Studios in New York.[1] It was produced by James Williams and Kazunori Sugiyama.[1] The personnel are Harold Mabern (piano), Christian McBride (bass), and Tony Reedus (drums).[2]
The material is "a set of off-the-beaten track tunes", plus "AON", an original.[2] The first three tracks "progress in tempo and feeling from medium groove to hurtling groove".[3] Mabern plays "Jeanine" "with pulsing, light-fingered percussiveness, from the treble repeat in the head through a riff-laden and unusually fitting fade-out".[3] "East of the Sun" has a bossa nova arrangement.[3]
