Orchestral arrangements are by Mehldau, Coleman, and composer Patrick Zimmerli.

Redman says: "I couldnt be more delighted to have the opportunity to do a ballads record with strings, with Brad producing, and my other great friends and collaborators all involved. Ive wanted to do this for a long time. "
