Ken Peplowski's tenor sax sounds are warm, attractive, and eloquent, while still rooted in the jazz tradition. His playing is so expressive that it's possible to almost hear the lyrics of each song when he plays the melody. On this release, the arrangements are varied, so the album doesn't feel monotonous. Peplowski is joined by Ted Rosenthal on piano, Gary Mazzaroppi on bass, and Jeff Brillinger on drums.

Note: There are two versions of this album. One where Ken Peplowski plays the songs on tenor saxophone and another where he plays the songs on clarinet. This is the release where he plays tenor saxophone.
