Description from Billboard review:
McIntyre's work on alto and flute is exciting and lyrical, and worth hearing as a new direction in scored jazz. The album was named after McIntyre's birth year in the Tibetan calendar and produced by Alan Douglas as part of his United Artists Jazz Series. Recorded intermittently between June and September 1962, the album represents a great yet forgotten post-bop gem featuring three different personnel line-ups across various studio sessions.

Descripción de la reseña de Billboard:
El trabajo de McIntyre en saxo alto y flauta es emocionante y lírico, y vale la pena escucharlo como una nueva dirección en el jazz orquestado. El álbum fue nombrado según el año de nacimiento de McIntyre en el calendario tibetano y producido por Alan Douglas como parte de su United Artists Jazz Series. Grabado intermitentemente entre junio y septiembre de 1962, el álbum representa una gran joya post-bop olvidada que presenta tres formaciones diferentes de personal a lo largo de varias sesiones de estudio.
