A total of 43 tracks, of which 8 were selected by Jamal for the album. The LP was produced by Dave Usher and was released later that same year on Argo Records as LP-628. Though Jamal had previous releases on Argo, they had been from previously made masters. This, however, was his first release recorded for Argo and his first live recording.
