About the album
After many years of traveling, playing concerts around the world and encounters with very special musicians, German saxophonist Reiner Witzel decided to capture some of these encounters on an album. He selected 12 musicians from 12 different countries, all of whom have become musical soulmates and friends. The very personal duo format seemed most appropriate for this project. The result is twelve songs, some of them recorded live in concert, others together in the studio, and some „remotely“ across national borders. This album is a little travel diary, showing dedication and friendship.
