The record

Steig's flute drifts through a Gomez-Morell session that pulls the working trio toward looser, more open ground, a late-'60s Verve date built around unexpected color.

Pressings

No copy here carries our earliest-pressing flag, so treat this list as satellites and reissues rather than an original. What we hold from 1969 is V6-8777 out of Spain and Canada plus a US promo of the same number; an undated US V6-8777 also appears. The serious modern options are Japanese: Verve UCJU-9015 on 180 gram in 2004 and UCJU-9078 on 200 gram in 2007.
