According to the liner notes, the word "Olim" is "an Aztec hieroglyph meaning movement, motion, earthquake."[1] The album is dedicated "to the living Spirit of Jimmy Lyons," the alto saxophone player who worked with Taylor for roughly 25 years, and who died a little over a month after the recording of the album.[2]
