It was recorded in 1969 and the climate in the USA was shaken by the assassinations of President John Kennedy and later his brother Bobby, Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King coupled with the Vietnam War. The basic band here included Bobby Hutcherson on vibes and his co-leader, tenor saxophonist Harold Land.. Two fine pianists split the chores here, Kenny Barron and Stanley Cowell,. The bassist is Herbie Lewis and the drummer , Joe Chambers. Augmenting the group is Wally Richardson on guitar, and Candido Camero on congas.
