Ronnie Ross had died, so the brass section had to be reorganised as well, giving the record a different timbre.
Among the songs on the new album is "Ronnie's Samba": a collage of solo material by the late Ronnie Ross, a legendary baritone saxophonist, who also played on early Matt Bianco material, woven into a tribute to his immortal craft.
Ross was a saxophone tutor for a young David Bowie, played tenor saxophone on The Beatles White Album track Savoy Truffle and years later was the soloist on the Lou Reed song "Walk on the Wild Side", which was co-produced by Bowie.
