1. The session was recorded in October 1979 at Crimson Studios, Santa Monica, and released under the Concord Concerto imprint, catalog CC-2002. 

2. On this album, Bud Shank appears exclusively on flute, paired with pianist Bill Mays — a somewhat unusual duo format for Shank, known mainly as a saxophonist. 

3. The program blends jazz with classical repertoire: pieces by Bach and Scriabin sit alongside new compositions (“Suite for Flute and Piano”) by Mays. 

4. This album fits into Shank’s late-‘70s/early-‘80s Concord period, which marked his embrace of more exploratory and chamber-influenced jazz fare compared with his earlier West Coast sessions.
