Astral Travel is an innovative jazz collective founded in Bologna, Italy, by the accomplished saxophonist and composer Tommaso Cappellato. The ensemble takes its name and inspiration from the legendary spiritual jazz album by Pharaoh Sanders, blending cosmic jazz traditions with contemporary beats, soulful melodies, and avant-garde improvisations. Since their formation in 2010, Astral Travel has been celebrated for its dynamic compositions and electrifying live performances, which merge classic jazz sensibilities with elements drawn from world music, electronica, and hip-hop.

The group’s debut album, "Cosm’ethic," released in 2013 on the Jazz Re:freshed label, received international acclaim for its forward-thinking approach and lush instrumentation, featuring collaborations with rising stars of the modern jazz scene. Guided by Cappellato’s visionary leadership, Astral Travel continues to push boundaries, channeling a deep respect for jazz heritage while fearlessly exploring new sonic realms and connecting with audiences across Europe and beyond.
