The record

Made during his stretch living abroad, this quartet record trades hard-bop certainty for electric keys, flute, and loose group exploration. Beck and Texier stretch the material toward something closer to early fusion than anything in his prior catalogue.

Henri Texier — acoustic bass, flute [flutes], vocals, percussion
Phil Woods — alto saxophone, clarinet, recorder, percussion, vocals [and varitone]
Daniel Humair — drums, percussion
Gordon Beck — electric piano, piano [acoustic piano], organ, bells, percussion, vocals
