One of the objectives for this record was to create a mood that was basically West Indian, and to provide a musical context that would leave room for the plays’ solo contributions. To assist Monty in this effort he invited some dynamic musicians who also happened to personally identify with the culture of these islands.

This album was recorded in New York on February & March 1988.
