Second album by saxophonist King Curtis (1934–1971), released by New Jazz Records (a sublabel of Prestige since 1958) in 1960.

The cover photography is by Esmond Edwards (1927–2007). The typography combines Filmotype Windsor (narrow) and Wave (wide), a pair of faces with tiny serifs much like Copperplate Gothic, but with horizontal stroke endings.
