Recorded in late 1974, "Transitory" captures Pork Pie at a particularly fertile moment, bridging the gap between jazz and rock with Ver Planck's virtuosic basslines and Van't Hof's driving keyboard work. This album is a prime example of the fusion sound being forged in Europe at the time.
- The album was recorded at Studio Bauer in Ludwigsburg, Germany.
- Pork Pie's lineup on "Transitory" featured Arthur Ver Planck on bass, Pierre Courbois on drums, and Gerd Dudek on saxophone.
- The album was released on the influential MPS Records label, known for its high-quality jazz recordings.
Pianist Jasper Van't Hof has been a major force in European jazz since the 1960s, known for his work in the Netherlands and Germany. Pork Pie was a vehicle for his energetic compositions and improvisations, a key band in the European jazz-rock scene.
