It was recorded on April 21, 1968 and features a live performance by Henderson with Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states that "Although Henderson had not played with the other musicians before, they blend together quite well and obviously inspired each other".[2] Further selections from this concert were released as Four.
