    nimzo33 Someone should make a study on how much Florian's music cures high blood pressure.
    Great albums ♫♪♫
    Wytze van der Raay thumbnail
    Wytze van der Raay The final "Epistrophy" is an absolute killer! But the interplay on all songs of this album is fascinating. Favorite track: Epistrophy.

  6. Reflections Of The Eternal Line
    by Florian Arbenz & Greg Osby
    supported by
    G.E Prince thumbnail
    G.E Prince Here is an L.P that is not just alive, but sounds live. An album that sounds very tribal but yet every corner turned has different statements and directions. The conversations that Florian and Greg exchange are truly breathtaking, two men that will not just take you on a journey, but provide you with all the emotions that are within every step of that journey. This is a journey that will become timeless.
    Max Sommers thumbnail
    Max Sommers I have always been an admirer of Greg Osby but Florian Arbenz was a new name to me. They have done something quite special here, in my opinion. Sax and percussion might seem a little sparse for a full album, but believe me, it is not. These are two musicians fantastically "in tune" with each other. Arbenz, all by himself, provides a rich an fascinating soundscape behind Osby's predictably intriguing playing, and the end result is totally absorbing. Highly recommended.

    nimzo33 This is an all killer no filler album! Thanks Florian and Greg 🙏

  7. Convergence

    Noel Megahey thumbnail
    Noel Megahey Wonderful album that rewards repeated and close listening. Complex rhythms, lovely moods and a beautiful open production sound that lets you appreciate the musicianship of each of the international collaborators and the unique interplay between them that gives each track a different flavour. Favorite track: Edificio.
    Jazzfuel thumbnail
    Jazzfuel I knew of most of these players individually before, but it's cool to hear them on the same record with this Convergence project!

    Fast Lane is a track which I know originally from Florian's big band version (with the VEIN trio) so interesting to hear it now in this small-group setting. Favorite track: Fast Lane.
    G.E Prince thumbnail
    G.E Prince This is the 3rd album I have bought involving Florian and yet again it’s without fault. This group of professional musicians have an ability to throw in a question and give themselves an immediate response. Other times they will play freely and then, in mid sentence, stop, and lead you along another aspect of their personality. It will often leave you immersed in the midst of superb individual harmonic structures. This is an album not to let slip through the net for any Jazz lover. Favorite track: Fast Lane.

    Steve Lee thumbnail
    Steve Lee I have eclectic musical tastes and this record hits so many "jazz fusion" highlights for me. But there's so much more bredth and dept here. with great melodies and rythmns. Oh and Flugelhorn! Best thing I've heard for a while. On repeat. Favorite track: Two Steps.
    Sophie thumbnail
    Sophie A perfect balance of complexity and simplicity, with great emotional depth and incredible musicianship from all players. Definitely a desert island album for me 💜
    Alain Cook thumbnail
    Alain Cook This album really demonstrates the ‘evolution’ of a musician demonstrating how experience, maturity in years and a will to produce and perform what feels right and not just conform. Heart Full of Grace has musical intellect in bucket loads whilst giving us the listener an experience that genuinely feels like it’s come from the heart and soul.
    It is a pinnacle album yet I don’t believe Al Swainger has peaked yet and I look forward to sharing his future projects with great anticipation.

    Giles So much fun and joy and swing, and the instrumentation allows for some super-fresh sounds as well as some old-timey goodness. And simply great tunes too! Favorite track: Hourglass.
    tutankhamen thumbnail
    tutankhamen Fascinating choice of ensemble instrumentation. I love the inclusion of accordion and cello. I was listening to "Twirler"as I wrote this. I started it up for a second listen. Bravo!

    Rudi Chief Adjuah is certainly one of the great trumpet players and musicians of our time. And keen to experiment - Miles would have been delighted. In November 2024, I heard him and his very young, very talented musicians give a fantastic concert at the Zentralwäscherei Zurich.

    Hobie Anthony thumbnail
    Hobie Anthony So happy to see a new album from this band. I've long been a fan of Mazurek and Parker's work in Tortoise, on top of the CUQ... Anyhow, if you're curious about contemporary jazz, this is a terrific place to start.
    Favorite track: Orgasm.
    John Pope thumbnail
    John Pope Masterful, restrained and explorative, yet also fully capable of explosive chemistry when the time comes. A fantastic set, constantly engaging from top to bottom.
    whyfisucks. thumbnail
    whyfisucks. Succinct musical/emotive conversations - open yet contained, straddling between abstraction and form simultaneously. Favorite track: Unique Spiral.
    Lord Dubious thumbnail
    Lord Dubious Always great to get some more Chicago Underground tunes! The synth bass reminds me of Sao Paulo Underground. Fantastic ideas expertly executed by some righteous dudes! Favorite track: Strange Wing.
