absence – 2024
Armin Jambor’s new album absence is now available on YouTube and major streaming platforms.
Blending modern jazz with thoughtful compositions, the album features nine tracks that highlight his refined saxophone tone and subtle arrangements. It's a concise and cohesive listen that showcases his musical range and style.
Unorthodox Radio Broadcasting
For the band Unorthodox Radio, the name says it all: Poppy melodies that could have come from the radio are given "unorthodox" arrangements. To do so, the five musicians get inspired by multiple genres, but mostly R'n'B, Neo-Soul and Jazz. Add stirring grooves, freely improvised solos and catchy melodies et voilá: The end result are contemporary and multifaceted pop songs.
