- Mastered by David Zuchovski, cover photo by Laurent Orseau Liner notes by Stuart Broomer: (...) The lockdown meant focusing on a different kind of dialogue, a conversation with the tenor saxophone legacy and his own roots.

That focus invokes two strongly linked figures, Coleman Hawkins and Sonny Rollins, the first great explorers of solo saxophone and both profoundly involved in protest and issues of identity.
