The album features bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Leroy Williams, along with pianists Lee Musiker and the late John Hicks. " Let's Fly", London's second Motema release, features the title song written by Annie Ross and Amy London, performed with pianist Tardo Hammer, bassist Santi Debriano and drummer Steve Williams.

London has led vocal jazz clinics at jazz camps around the world. 

In 2015, London produced The Royal Bopsters Project (Motéma), an album that gathered a group of musicians to pay homage to vocalese singers, earning 4 and a half stars from the major jazz periodical Downbeat Magazine, and a video feature in the Wall Street Journal.  The group consists of Amy London, Holli Ross, Dylan Pramuk, and Darmon Meader, now replaced by Pete McGuinness.  Accompanying them on the album was a royal generation of bop vocalists: Mark Murphy, Annie Ross, Jon Hendricks, Sheila Jordan, and Bob Dorough.
