Although not billed as such, this album marks the emergence of a second TJB, featuring a couple of TJB alumni and some new musicians. This is also a Tijuana Brass "comeback" album, the first album of original material since Herb disbanded the original TJB in 1969. Alpert's touch as an arranger had not diminished during his absence from recording: witness a revamped "Up Cherry Street", Bacharach/David's "Promises, Promises", and Mangione's "Legend of The One Eyed Sailor". His touch for composing is evident in the excellent opening track, "Fox Hunt". The best track on this album is an arrangement of Gato Barbieri's haunting "Last Tango in Paris", featuring a string arrangement by Quincy Jones
