From inside gatefold:
The occasion for these recordings was a special concert presented on June 29, 1976 at New York's City Center, by George Wein as part of the Newport Jazz Festival. Originally termed a "Retrospective of The Music of Herbie Hancock" its purpose was not so much to pay tribute to one musician, but to enable a group of great musicians to get together and play.
