The first seven tracks are recordings of Tristano's sextet, containing Warne Marsh (tenor sax), Lee Konitz (alto sax), Billy Bauer (guitar), Arnold Fishkin (bass), and Harold Granowsky or Denzil Best (drums; separately). They include "the earliest examples of free improvisation in jazz: 'Intuition' and 'Digression'".[1] It was reissued by Capitol as part of the Intuition 1996 re-release, in combination with a reissue of Warne Marsh's Jazz of Two Cities.[4]
