Albæk Jakobsen wanted to create a musical journey with the album and he has succeeded. The pieces gradually develop a narrative where melody is just as important as texture. It is between the clear rhythmic patterns and clear melody of "Spirit Soul" and the searching soundscape of "Long Johns" that Voyager finds its own expression based on accessible immediacy and meditative beauty.

Reviews
The ambitious approach to the music succeeds in full with this new album and there’re even times when I must completely surrender in excitement.……..
This album is in many ways a good take on contemporary jazz with a strong personal interplay between the five musicians.…….
Voyager is recommendable and it is one of those albums that grows every time you’re listening to it.
