Corea, Holland and Altschul made up three fourths of the free jazz ensemble Circle. The setting of this album is largely free and spontaneous, with a few pre-composed pieces included to maintain balance. The only piece not composed by Corea or Holland, or improvised by the trio, is Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti", now considered a jazz standard.
