Originally the meaning of 'round trip' was to return to the starting point via a different road. When I wrote the tune 'Round Trip', it was about a deep and heartfelt wish I had- to return to my two sons, who I had left in another country for a few days. As this album and this music came about, 'round trip' then became a key idea for the album. Round trip, in the sense of coming home, describes the feeling I have every time I play with this group. It refers to the many (round) trips we have taken together over the years, but also how much we have grown as a band, musicians and persons, and how we, no matter where each one of us is placed in the world, get together to make music and share our experiences.
Even on a personal level I see the many round trips in our journey through life and music. So without further a due: Take a *Round Trip' with us.
