It was recorded in December 2006 at Yoshi's in Oakland, California and features performances of by Tyner with Joe Lovano, Christian McBride and Jeff "Tain" Watts. The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos states that "In many ways this is a remarkable date, a well-paced program with all the pieces (save "For All We Know") timed at around ten minutes, proof positive that Tyner's game is still very much on, and hovering at a very high level".^[2]
