For over 20 years, JOURNEYS' original compositions have been delighting a broad concert and radio audience in Europe, the USA and China with their funky smooth jazz fusion.
The 6 professional musicians have known each other for many years from various projects and formations. On stage, they give each other plenty of creative space and do what they do best, full of the spirit of discovery and joy of playing: Taking their audience on musical journeys across North America, South America and the Caribbean. The groovy funk numbers, melodic ballads and Latin jazz compositions appeal not only to jazz lovers, but also to a stylistically diverse audience. An inspiring, timeless mix of catchy melodies, colorful harmonies, an infectious groove and excellent solos. Their fourth album Gate 65 was released in December 2023. After three studio productions, the band decided to record this album directly live, without overdubs, so that the interaction between the musicians happens in the moment, the pieces seem more alive and are reduced to the essentials. The JOURNEYS' music has constantly evolved over the years, which is impressively reflected in the overall picture of the new album, not least thanks to the band's cohesion over so many years.
