Intended as a thematic companion piece to 'Mingus Ah Um', the recording utilizes expanded instrumentation including flute, cello, and vibraphone. The heavily orchestrated ensemble navigates sophisticated tributes to Duke Ellington alongside intense, sprawling original compositions like 'Gunslinging Bird'.
