Swedish saxophonist Joakim Milder and Esbjörn Svensson planned to record a duo album together. They did some rehearsals of the material, Milder had written especially for this duo collaboration, but they didn´t get a chance to record it because of Esbjörn´s all to soon passing in June 2008. Joakim Milder arranged these tunes for the JazzBaltica Ensemble 2009 and they played this program as a tribute to Esbjörn Svensson.
