Project Description
On "Open Up Your Senses" (Hideout Records), guitarist John Arman demonstrates just how naturally jazz can be reimagined while staying true to its roots. Joined by vocalist Pete Simpson and fellow musicians Johannes Enders, Renato Chicco, and Christian Salfellner, he delivers an album that effortlessly blends soul, modern jazz, and mainstream jazz. Original compositions sit comfortably alongside classics by Max Roach, Horace Silver, and Freddie Hubbard, resulting in a record that is both stylistically diverse and strikingly cohesive.
