This 1961 album contains two intriguing covers: versions of Mercer Ellington"s Jumpin" Punkins and Things Ain"t What They Used to Be featuring the avant-garde pianist Cecil Taylor with trumpeter Clark Terry, trombonist Roswell Rudd, soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy, baritonist Charles Davis, tenor Archie Shepp, bassist Buell Neidlinger, and drummer Billy Higgins. In addition, originals O.P and I Forgot feature Taylor with Neidlinger, drummer Dennis Charles, and (on the latter song) the young Archie Shepp.
