The music of East Of Eden mastermind and free jazz veteran saxophonist Ron Caines, arranged for solo piano, string quartet and piano quintet by Laura Cole.

Laura Cole has been a member of the Ron Caines / Martin Archer AXIS since the groups inception, appearing on many of that group's recordings. This recording grew out of the sessions for the last AXIS recording "Practical Dreamers", for which two solo piano tracks of new Caines compositions were recorded, but not used. From this point the idea grew for Laura to make a whole solo piano album of Ron's compositions, and while that was being recorded the idea grew further to include a second album of string quartet versions of some of the tunes.
