The album is a tribute to the German composer Kurt Weill. Note that the CD versions contains two more tracks!

 ”Weill lived and created his music in a time that, in some sometimes frightening ways, resembles our own. I am inspired by how he combines his background in classical music with cabaret, jazz, and musicals, but also by his deeply humanistic, humorous, and loving approach to life and art in a changing world. It gives hope in the midst of it all. All of my compositions on this album have been inspired by a Weill song.”.
