Recorded in 1965 in New York City, half of this set consists of solo piano numbers, and half features Randy Weston backed by the rhythm section of drummer Lennie McBrowne and bass player Vishnu Bill Wood. For the trio setting they do a friendly and engaging arrangement of the children's standard "Three Blind Mice," followed by a relaxed take of "Perdido" and Duke Ellington's "Purple Gazelle."

Weston explores four of his own composition on the solo portion of the album. The title song is blues-based with an enticing melody. In contrast to this is "Lagos," which draws upon his fascination with and study of African traditions. Bass note clusters add a percussive element that give way to melodic runs couched in a calm serenity.
