Herb Bushler was a member of the Gil Evans Orchestra, Abdulha and Steve Turre from the Chico Hamilton group, and Phil Clendeninn from Tarika Blue. Buddy Williams was a member of George Benson's group and often played with Kawasaki in New York City. Prism was recorded in one afternoon and mixed the next day.
