I first met Win Pongsakorn when he was a student at University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, Austria where I was teaching Jazz Composition and Arranging. I remember hearing him for the first time and realized how he has blossomed over the years. Win has a warm, soulful sound and, on this recording, the solo lengths are just right.

I'm so excited to have the opportunity to record again with Champian in the duo format. I'm very proud of our first album Dream A Little…. but our friendship and musical partnership has grown so much since that recording and the opportunity to record again is something I'm very grateful for. I would like to sincerely thank Kodi Hutchinson and the team at JazzYYC for providing Champian and I such a wonderfully unique situation for us to record. We both loved the experience and a big thank you to Scott Morin for taking on this production of this project with such elegance and grace.
