Inner Journey is the 12th original album by acclaimed Portuguese saxophonist and composer Desidério Lázaro, and presents itself as a lyrical tribute to Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse, one of the most influential works of twentieth-century literature.

Far from being merely abstract inspiration, the music functions as a true soundtrack to the book, seeking to translate the spiritual odyssey and existential journey of the protagonist. Each composition chronologically accompanies one of the crucial moments in Siddhartha's story, capturing the essence of his discoveries, dilemmas, pleasures, deprivations and transformations throughout his journey of self-knowledge until finding inner peace and enlightenment through the "middle way".

On stage, Desidério Lázaro (on saxophones and bass clarinet) leads a cohesive and expressive trio alongside André Rosinha (double bass) and João Sousa (drums). Together, they establish a strong chamber interaction that perfectly balances melodic introspection with moments of great rhythmic intensity.

To enrich the immersive experience, the concert will be accompanied by simultaneous projection of the text, allowing the audience to follow the narrative in real time. The performance thus becomes an invitation to attentive and meditative listening, crossing literature and jazz improvisation.
