This album was recorded last summer when Waldron and his friends were invited to celebrate his birthday at Jazz Middelheim in Antwerp, Belgium, the bi-annual festival of Brtn Public Radio. His regular US bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Andrew Cyrille came over from New York. Jeanne Lee was only a short trainride away, in The Hague, Holland, where she teaches. Joe Henderson was flown in from San Francisco. Abbey Lincoln, who had performed with her own band the night before, stayed over to make an impromptu appearance.[...] complete cover and booklet scansThe same week they all went into the studio near Antwerp for what is Waldron's first album under his new RCA Victor recording contract. (Steve Coleman, a special favorite of Waldron's among a younger generation of players, later recorded his tracks in New York.) (Extract from sleeve notes by Bob Leurentop, November 1997.)
