The music consists of a 31 minute solo concert performance of the title piece, two duets (one with Anthony Braxton, the other with Malachi Favors), a trio piece with Muhal Richard Abrams and George Lewis, two more Mitchell solo pieces (one from a concert, the other a studio recording), and a 17 1/2 minute version of the title piece with four alto saxophonists (Mitchell, Henry Threadgill, Joseph Jarman and Wallace McMillan).
