The album was recorded at Second Story Sound, New York City, on November 25, 2015. [4] All About Jazz stated, "Taborn and his band-mates have—in their immersion on John Zorn's music—crafted a singular trio sound—ruggedly iconoclastic, fresh, fervid, relentlessly off-kilter yet still compellingly melodic, and beautiful, on this splendid recording."
