The album was recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on January 23, 1962.[1] Although billed as a meeting of organist Jack McDuff and tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons, a second tenorist, Harold Vick, played on all of the tracks, as did guitarist Eddie Diehl and drummer Joe Dukes.[2]
Three of the six tracks were written by McDuff;[3] the first, "Watch Out", is an uptempo blues.[2]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "this is a very successful soul-jazz/hard bop outing... Ammons, whose every note was always full of passion, fits in perfectly with McDuff's group".[3] Marc Myers described the recording as "a superb bluesy album".[2]
All compositions by Jack McDuff except where noted.
