Music and recording

[edit]

The album was recorded at the Maybeck Recital Hall in Berkeley, California[1] in 1991.[2] Byard played in a variety of styles: "It's all here, the lyrical and the rollicking, the finely-tuned comic flair and roving, impish imagination filtered through a bedrock sense of swing and surpassing technical command".[1]
