Post-bop pieces with a heavy acoustic-bass emphasis and occasional spoken word (1,5,9). The band includes piano and trumpet, but the bass usually takes the fore, with Moffett spinning some catchy and compelling solos. Even the slow tracks pack some nimble pizzacato playing.

Several tracks have a fast, energetic feel that gets the whole quartet hopping. Charnett switches to electric fretless on (4) and (13) for a more liquid sound.

Charnett's name is a combination of Charles and Ornette, and his music honors the legacy of both men, in some ways. He's known for following the Harmolodic concepts laid down by Ornette. And he frequently plays with brothers Cody (drums) and Mondre (trumpet), both of whom appear on this session.
