This project was conceived and produced by bandleader Karim Yengsep, with the help of a Grammy winning saxophonist, arranger, and educator Chip McNeill, and recording engineer Mark Rubel at Pogo Studio in Champaign, Illinois. The album was mastered by the late Jon Schoenoff at Artist Mastering at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. Graphic design was created by Jake Thompson, based on a Black & White film photography of David Cubberly that was shot during the first recording session at Pogo Studio.
