== Track listing ==
Corea, Holland and Altschul made up three fourths of the free jazz ensemble [[Circle (jazz band)|Circle]]. The setting of this album is largely free and spontaneous, with a few pre-composed pieces included to maintain balance. The only piece not composed by Corea or Holland, or improvised by the trio, is [[Wayne Shorter]]'s "Nefertiti", now considered a [[jazz standard]].
