The record
Corea's angular chords and Land's cutting tenor frame the vibes in a session that leans away from straight hard bop toward something more unsettled. Hutcherson and Chambers, already well acquainted by 1968, trade ideas with an easy familiarity.
Session personnel
- Reggie Johnson — bass
- Joe Chambers — drums
- Chick Corea — piano
- Harold Land — tenor saxophone

Pressings
The earliest on file is the 1968 US Blue Note BST 84291 in stereo, with a second 1968 US copy noted as an All Disc pressing. No mono is listed and no markers are recorded on any row here, so buy on label design and condition rather than dead wax. Japanese GXK 8140 arrived in 1979 and BNJ 71078 in 1985; the 2014 180 gram European reissue is the easy modern copy.
