"...a tiny bar in the basement of a five-story building.I was met at the door with the warm sound of an old Gerry Mulligan record.I took a seat at the counter and listened to the solo over a nice, easy J&B-and-water."

A 1971 Atlantic release that pulled together tracks from the late 50's and early 60's that didn't make it onto Ornette's earlier records for the label.
Alternate tracks and takes from previous Atlantic sessions recorded between 1959 and 1961. The cover painting, which has the same title as track 1, is by Ornette Coleman.
