After rehearsing like hell for the upcoming tour "Mellow Trip" through Japan, we're now about ironing our underwear :-) and getting our suitcases ready for take off! Tomorrow we'll be up in the air going from Leipzig to Paris to Osaka. There we'll have our first gig on april 30th. We're really excited about the Japanese audience.  

The preparations for the tour where really good. Working with Duane Levi and his agency Shalestone Music was a real pleasure and I believe it will be during the next 2 weeks.

To make this "Mellow Trip" happening is also a result of Initiative Musik helping musicians of the Jazz, Pop and Rock genre in Germany to make their projects become true. The initiative is funding these projects by giving 40% of the amount of money being spend to the musicians.

And now I have to learn some words in Japanese....is it really that hard to learn? Plus I have to polish my saxophone, pack up my tooth brush and Japan beware ((grosskopf)'s coming!!!!

To all those crazy guys of you who really know the Japanese language check these links:
