Background
The personnel for this album was the same as for the Jazztet's previous recording for Mercury.
Music and recording
"Space Station" is a rapid 24-bar composition by trombonist Moncur. "Domino" is a waltz; "Another Git Together" is a blues. Golson's "Along Came Betty" is faster than its original 1958 version. "This Nearly Was Mine" is from South Pacific and is another waltz, but has additional written material towards the end. This is the first recording of "Reggie", a tribute to composer Golson's second son; it has a "30-bar chorus" and "is a swinging conclusion to the album".
Reception
Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "This spirited and swinging set has six strong selections".
