Background and recording

This was Degibri's fifth recording as leader.[1] Most of the tracks are Degibri's originals; the other band members wrote one each.[2] On the title track, "After a slowly unfurling a capella intro, Degibri moves into the gorgeous melody supported by Mehldau's slow chordal accompaniment."[1]

Reception

The Down Beat reviewer observed that, "Though the members of the band shine during their individual solos, the musicians are deferential to Degibri's spirited tenor and soprano playing."[1]
