Julian Joseph Trio: Voyage of the Faithful

The most important jazz musician (Julian Joseph) this country has produced in many years, possibly ever. –The Stage

Voyage of the Faithful acknowledges the many excursions, insights and experiences that have challenged and stimulated me over the years, and have allowed me to grow as a man and as a musician, to bring you the colours and visions I now have access to with my musical brothers – Mark Hodgson, the great bass player who I affectionately and respectfully call ‘the Mountain’, and my longest musical collaborator, drummer extraordinaire, Mark Mondesir. – Julian Joseph

‘Voyage of the Faithful’ is Julian Joseph’s first recording with his beloved trio of 30 years – Mark Hodgson and Mark Mondesir on bass and drums. Since his last studio album, Julian’s focus has been on performing new music on the live stage, but now he brings his hallmark sparkle, originality, and the wonderful pulsating swing he is so famous for to this set of original compositions and prized standards from the jazz canon. His Caribbean interpretation of the Duke Ellington/Juan Tizol staple, ‘Caravan’, and his extended, emotive reading of Wayne Shorter’s ‘Footprints’ express both his love for jazz and his desire to always push himself, his band, and the expectations of the listener.

On ‘Voyage of the Faithful’, Julian Joseph shines a light on his uniqueness and onto his new audiences and the many who have missed him. He’s back!

Music includes pieces from Voyage of the Faithful,  choice classics with the Joseph treatment (from Gershwin, Porter, Ellington, Shorter…) and original pieces by Julian Joseph.
