The two tenor saxophonists are highly capable in different approaches, and Carlton makes good use of both Potter and Whalum throughout the program.

Accompanying musicians are Chris Potter on saxophone and Billy Kilson on drums, both known primarily for their work with the Dave Holland Quintet Harvey Mason, who holds down the rhythm logic on 'I Still Believe' and smooth jazz phenom Kirk Whalum, who turns in a great solo on the title track, on tenor saxophone.
