Canadian flutist Moe Koffman was delighted to have a hit on his hands after the success of his "The Swingin' Shepherd Blues," so this Jubilee LP became his immediate follow-up album. Joined by guitarist Ed Bickert, bassist Hugh Currie and drummer Ron Rully, Koffman wrote five new originals for this record, including the light and breezy "Flute Salad" and the hip swinger "Marty's Morgue." He also adds an easygoing take of Sonny Rollins' "Doxy," and a hard bop (with traces of funk in its introduction) arrangement of the standard "Alone Together." Koffman switches to alto sax for his intricate "Bermuda Schwartz" (which features a fine solo by Bickert and a few drum breaks), as well as on Rully's exotic composition "What Can You Do ?" Long out of print, consider this LP to be extremely rare.

El flautista canadiense Moe Koffman estaba encantado de tener un éxito en sus manos después del éxito de su "The Swingin' Shepherd Blues", por lo que este LP de Jubileo se convirtió en su álbum de seguimiento inmediato. Junto con el guitarrista Ed Bickert, el bajista Hugh Currie y el baterista Ron Rully, Koffman escribió cinco nuevos originales para este disco, incluyendo el ligero y ventoso "Flute Salad" y el hip swinger "Marty's Morgue". También añade una toma fácil de "Doxy" de Sonny Rollins, y un arreglo hard bop (con rastros de funk en su introducción) del estándar "Alone Together". Koffman cambia al saxo alto para su intrincado "Bermuda Schwartz" (que presenta un buen solo de Bickert y algunos cortes de batería), así como en la exótica composición de Rully "What Can You Do ?" Largamente agotado, considere este LP como extremadamente raro.
