Journey to Journey
Journey to Journey is the debut studio album by Miho Hazama and her chamber orchestra m_unit, released on November 14, 2012. It was recorded July 2–3, 2012 at Systems Two in Brooklyn, New York.
Hazama had just earned her master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music when she made the album, directed by Jim McNeely, who had been her supervisor at MSM. Since she couldn’t find enough suitable string players besides a cello, McNeely introduced her to violinist Mark Feldman, who then assembled the rest of the string section. Bassist Sam Anning and cellist Meaghan Burke were MSM classmates, and drummer Jake Goldbas joined about a year later. About half the band members came from MSM.
Journey to Journey won Jazz Japan Award 2012 in the Album of the Year (Rising Star) category. DownBeat later listed it among the Best Albums of 2013 in the New Albums category.
