The booklet contains full biographical and discographical details. Tracks include Billy Cotton (InchMargieInch), Lew Stone (InchWhite JazzInch), Henry Hall (InchGoody GoodyInch), Jack Hylton (InchSwing Is in the AirInch) and InchVictor Sylvester (InchGoodbye BluesInch).

The album Moods was recorded in the legendary Jet Studio, Brussels, with it's unique and impeccable acoustic sound in September 2020. This album demonstrates their happiness of meeting and playing again in order to finally record their work, with the energy of a lion just freed from his cage. This recording features nine original tunes composed and arranged by some of the band's members, such as Stéphane Mercier, François Decamps, Steven Delannoye and Jean Paul Estiévenart. One of the advantages of having several composers in the band is the diversity achieved in the repertoire.
