The arrangements on this album were created by Sébastien Dubé (double bass) and Roland Pöntinen (piano) with a fresh perspective after Martin Fröst's health incident.
Instruments
Martin Fröst once played on Benny Goodman's clarinet, which was surprisingly in excellent condition, during a performance at Carnegie Hall.
Cultural Impact
Gordon Jenkins's 'Goodbye' was Benny Goodman's last song at the end of his shows, and Martin Fröst has performed it as an encore ever since hearing Goodman play it.
