[3] The title of the album is a reference to filin (feeling), the 1940s movement in which forms such as the bolero were used as a basis for descargas (improvised jam sessions).

On Jam Session with Feeling, many of the songs are decades-old such as Eusebio Delfín's bolero "¿Y tú qué has hecho?"

(1922), Ernesto Lecuona's canción "Siboney" (1929), Moisés Simons' son-pregón "El manisero" (1930), and Arsenio Rodríguez' son "A buscar camarón" (1943).

[1][5] The album features both Ricardo Abreu (leader of Los Papines) and Tata Güines on tumbadora, the latter doubling on the drums (trap set).
