This album was released in 1977 as the first installment of the series "The New York Loft Jazz Sessions," compiling session recordings of artists who thrived in the vibrant loft jazz scene in New York City from the mid-1970s. The album features recordings of various artists, including the Kalaparusha Trio with Chris White and Jumma Santos, Ken McIntyre's Quartet with Richard Harper, Andrei Strobert, and Andy Vega, Sunny Murray & The Untouchable Factor with Byard Lancaster, David Murray, Khan Jamal, and Fred Hopkins, the Sam Rivers Trio with Jerome Hunter and Jerry Griffin, and Air, who recorded an open session in a New York studio in 1976.
