マノーロ・バドレーナは1952年プエルトリコ生まれのマルチ打楽器奏者。ジャコ・パストリアスとほぼ同じ1976年にウェザー・リポートに加入。ウェザー・リポートのアルバムでは1977年作品の『Heavy Weather』と、1978年作品の『Mr. Gone』のレコーディングに参加した。
バドレーナはジャズ以外からのオファーも多く、これまでローリング・ストーンズ、ジョニ・ミッチェル、トーキング・ヘッズ、ブロンディ、マイケル・フランクスのレコーディングへ参加するなどジャンルを超えて活躍している。
本作は1979年に発表されたバドレーナのリーダー・アルバム。ジャコはオープニングのエイブ・ラボリエルとのツイン・ベースで《The One Thing》に参加。バドレーナはバッキングだけでなく、曲によってはリード・ヴォーカルやコーラスもこなすマルチ・プレイヤーぶりを如何なく発揮している。
