The album features performances by saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer Edward Wilkerson, saxophonist Mwata Bowden, trumpeter Robert Griffin, Jr., trombonist Isaiah S.

Wilkerson founded Sessoms Records in 1986 in order to release an album by his big band, Shadow Vignettes. He recalled: "I had a car trunk filled with records and all of these dudes would laugh at me, but I didn't care. I had to sell my stuff."[4]
