Produced by Duke Robillard, it has Duke's rhythm section joined by "Monster" Mike Welch on guitar, and Roomful of Blues alumni horns.

The album builds on the warm, elegant spirit associated with mid-century modern culture: clear lines in the arrangements, subtle but expressive melodies, and a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere. Listeners can expect a blend that nods to classic jazz, soundtrack-like instrumentals, and refined lounge elements, with carefully layered instruments and a focus on mood and texture rather than showy virtuosity. This makes the CD a perfect choice for focused listening as well as an atmospheric backdrop for reading, working, or entertaining guests.
Basile, al presents themselves here as an artist with a strong sense of style and space in music, crafting tracks that feel both contemporary and timeless without relying on obvious retro clichés. The production is restrained yet detailed, giving each sound room to breathe and emphasizing clarity and balance. "Mid-century Modern" is ideal for lovers of elegant, understated soundscapes who appreciate nuance in composition and arrangement.
The release is manufactured and distributed by SWSP, a company that positions itself as a specialist for carefully curated music productions.
