Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Pilgrims is not a random title. John Wolf Brennan, Marco Jencarelli, and Tony Majdalani bring us on a musical trip which reflects a spiritual journey. Their pilgrimage is in many dimensions - geographical, spirituals, chronological and immediate. On the way, the three pilgrims visit many places, embrace many moods. Their 77 minute journey is accompanied by a 16-page booklet - quite a lot to read about."-Leo Records
