In their latest album, Safe Place, German jazz duo Roman and Julian Wasserfuhr craft an intimate refuge through music. This is not about a physical destination—it’s a state of mind, a sanctuary for reflection and focus amidst the noise of modern life. Joined by cellist Jörg Brinkmann and saxophonist Paul Heller, the brothers craft an intimate, heartfelt soundscape that celebrates genuine connection and invite the listener on a musical journey away from distractions, offering clarity and tranquility. It’s a celebration of friendships, authenticity, and the power of music to ground us in what truly matters.
In a world increasingly defined by chaos and eschatological aims, we hope that this album will offer refuge. For us, Safe Place is neither a physical location nor a person; it is a state of mind to be reached through immersion in the depths of music.
This album takes us on a musical journey, leading us away from the constant distractions and superficiality of our daily surroundings to a deeper, more introspective place, where we have the personal space to focus on what is essential – on the things that truly matter. We deliberately took the decision to record this music in an intimate setting, alongside cellist Jörg Brinkmann and saxophonist Paul Heller. Our close collaboration with them reflects a deeply held belief that genuine friendships and meaningful relationships are sources of strength which can help us to overcome chaos.
Safe Place is an invitation to step away from the bewildering complexity of everyday life and to dive into a world defined by clarity and musical integrity, and an anchor for us to face life’s challenges with renewed strength. In an increasingly hectic world where time for reflection is rare, we hope our music will create a lasting space of tranquility. In this album, sound and melody take us on a journey of discovery as we explore new paths together – honest and unfiltered, far removed from competition, and made possible through the bond with kindred spirits. We hope you enjoy exploring this ‘safe place’ and can find a moment of calm amidst the stormy seas of life.
