Fans are saying, “AT LAST!” This is Julian Joseph’s first studio album with his beloved trio of Mark Hodgson and Mark Mondesir on bass and drums since 1996. Over the last 30 years much of 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. The trio is also joined by the great Irish singer Ken Papenfus, who treats us to his irresistible vocals on ‘Meditation Point’. In this album Julian reminds us of his stature as a melodically gifted pianist of immense power, tenderness and energy. ‘Voyage of the Faithful’ honours both the jazz legacy and Joseph’s ever forward-facing music. Its collection of stunning originals demonstrate just how present and relevant a composer he continues to be. On ‘Voyage of the Faithful’ Julian Joseph shines a light on his own uniqueness and onto his new audiences and the many that have missed him. He’s back!
