Background
This was Marcus's second album for Justin Time Records.[2]
Recording and music
Of the nine tracks, seven are originals.[2] Marcus mostly plays saxello and stritch (types of straight saxophone) on the album.[1] On the "Giant Steps" and "Naima" medley, he plays bass clarinet.[1]
Release
The album was released by Justin Time on June 10, 1997.[3]
Reception
The AllMusic reviewer commented that Byard had a largely supporting role, so "although this CD will probably be quite important in the discography of Michael Marcus, it is just a footnote, a lost opportunity, in Jaki Byard's career."[1] The JazzTimes reviewer praised Marcus's tone on the rarely played saxophones.[2]

gollark: You would fix them using specific problem fixing methods.
gollark: They haven't, so it's fine.
gollark: Too bad, fix the problems.
gollark: Economic growth has brought better living standards for basically everyone ever. Stopping it means reverting to the bad old times where the only way to get more stuff is to redistribute it away from someone else.
gollark: Bee you, we really need those.
