"It is common practice among discographers to list Prince Lasha as the leader of this session. This short extract of a Fred Lyman interview suggests that this may not be exactly the case (courtesy of Ben Young and Marc Chaloin): '...mostly a jam-session, they were all in my studio, I don't know how they got these particular guys up there, it was probably Clifford Jordan got it together. And they just started to play and I started recording, and I played on it too, I played flugelhorn on this track. And it turned out pretty good, it was an example of what I liked to think music could be at that time.' According to Lyman, they picked up Don Cherry in the street." All compositions written by the band and recorded in New York City on May, 1963.
