The album created from the live recording now bears the title “The Pilgrimage”, and for good reasons. Firstly, because it begins with “La Peregrinacion”, a pilgrimage song by Ariel Ramirez, the Argentinian composer of “Misa Criolla”. And secondly, because Jansen, Jormin and Steinmetz explore the origins of a universal human phenomenon in their pieces, which meander between jazz, classical music, and Nordic and non-European folklore. “Pilgrimages are a component of all the great religions in the world”, says bassist Jormin. “I think, as a musician, you aim to forge a connection to this deeper meaning. Ideally, you are a vessel in this respect, or a sounding board that resonates with the audience and your fellow musicians”, adds guitarist Jansen.
