Since its founding invitations led VOYAGE WEST to tours in Germany, Canada, Festivals in Tallin/Estonia, Reykjavik/Iceland, and  concerts around NY. This ensemble’s unique sound is based on the rare front-line of voice, sax, vibes/marimba (backed by a strong rhythm section) and on Bauer’s genre-bending compositions. There are three recordings to date: VOYAGE, GEOGRAPHIA and VOYAGE WEST. A few press quotes that describe the music: “Musical travellers in the best sense of the word”, “. . . romantic and impressionistic elements, enriched by sharpness and formal awareness, and by magnificent sounds full of fantasy”, “A kind of ‘world music’ that cannot be found on any map.” (Maurice Hogue, Taint Radio)
