Jones said that it took him twenty minutes to compose the piece,[4] which features prominently a cuíca (responsible for the distinctive "laughing" in the first bars). Roland Kirk was the flute soloist, Lalo Schifrin was the pianist, Chris White was the bassist, Rudy Collins was the drummer, and Jerome Richardson was the alto flutist.[1] The album liner notes do not specify the brass players.
