As an in-demand jazz musician of the 1960s, Joe Farrell recorded with Charles Mingus, Dizzy Reece and Jaki Byard before embarking on his own successful solo career. Now reissued on CD for the first time, this was Joe Farrell's first LP under his own name and it has subsequently become known amongst jazz aficionados as a classic album. On this recording, Farrell switches between tenor, soprano, flute, and oboe, while being joined by a notable back-up crew, who were on loan from Miles Davis' group.
