Norman Connors’ ‘Romantic Journey’ is more than just an album—it’s a statement from a drummer and bandleader who has always understood the deep connection between jazz and the human heart.

The title track, in particular, stands as a highlight—its gentle rhythms and warm melodies conjure an atmosphere both intimate and expansive.
