Appearing on the album is Potter’s frequent collaborator, guitarist John Hart. Also appearing are organist/pianist Larry Goldings, bassist Larry Grenadier and veteran drummer Al Foster. According to praise from Neil Tesser in 1998, Goldings plays with "virtually none of the traditional organ-jazz fare" on this album. ^[2]
