Pianist Bill Charlap & soprano/alto saxophonist Jon Gordon team up for this duo session. Jon has this to say about it: "I wanted this project to represent a part of myself that I hadn't recorded as much, but really, at my core, is a big part of what I do. I always look to find common ground with the tradition & the present, but on this project, the tunes & forms leaned more toward the tradition that I had in the past. For me, it was about the inspiration I've received from musicians like Doc Cheatham, Jay McShann, Benny Carter, Milt Hinton, Jimmy Lewis & others too numerous to mention."
