The album was recorded in New York City on December 26, 1994.[2] The first track, "Belief", "starts out with some Charleston off beats before leading into a Messengers-type shuffle."[3]
The album was released in 2000.[3] Mehldau commented that "it captured all of us when we were right at the beginning of developing our own voices."[4] All members of the quintet went on to be successful jazz musicians.[4]
