Journey to Journey is the debut album of Miho Hazama and her chamber orchestra m_unit, released in November 2012. [1] [3] [4]
This debut album was recorded in July 2012 just after Miho Hazama had got master's degree from Manhattan School of Music (MSM), and was directed by Jim McNeely who had been her supervisor at MSM. As Miho could not find suitable players for string section except for cello, she consulted with Jim McNeely, and Jim introduced Mark Feldman. Then Mark called the other strings players. Sam Anning for bass and Meaghan Burke for cello were her classmates at MSM, and Jake Goldbas for drums was one year after them. [4] Half of the band members are from MSM. [5]

The album opens up with Sinatra's recent number one hit "Strangers in the Night" and continues through the varied styles of music Sinatra recorded in the 60s, from easy listening ballads like "It Was a Very Good Year" and "Softly, as I Leave You" to contemporary pop like "When Somebody Loves You" and "That's Life". Greatest Hits was a modest hit, peaking at #55 on the album charts in late 1968. A second volume was issued in 1972, Frank Sinatra's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2.
