Excerpts from bio by Matt Collar on AllMusic.com

A hard bop pianist, Gene Russell is best known as the founder of the legendary '70s Oakland funk and soul-jazz label Black Jazz Records. A favorite of vinyl crate-diggers and DJs, Russell's label was home to recordings by Walter Bishop Jr, Doug & Jean Carn and others. 

He worked in New York with many well-known performers, including Miles Davis, John Coltrane and the Three Sounds, among others. He eventually settled in Oakland, California where in 1969 he launched Black Jazz Records to promote and showcase Black jazz, soul, and funk artists. This album was the label's debut release.
