The album brings together Rifflet's unique tenor timbre and Pohjola's distinctive, expressive sound into a seamlessly elegant production that captivates listeners with the sheer mastery of both performers.

Sylvain Rifflet has made a name for himself not only as a saxophonist but also as a clarinettist and composer. One of the most sought-after French musicians of his generation, Rifflet has performed and recorded with several prominent musicians across Europe and America.
