“Convergence”: An International Jazz Journey with Florian Arbenz

Florian Arbenz "Convergence"

Begoña Villalobos presents the album “Convergence” on In and Out Jazz, a vibrant project created by Swiss drummer and composer Florian Arbenz.

The album brings together internationally renowned jazz stars, with Jorge Vistel on trumpet, Maikel Vistel on tenor sax, Nelson Veras on guitar, Jim Hart on vibraphone, Rafael Jerjén on bass and, of course, leader Florian Arbenz on drums. Inspired by great references such as Art Blakey and Max Roach, “Convergence” weaves a musical narrative that goes from abstraction to melodic structures, highlighting the excellent interactions between the musicians.

The original compositions, especially those by Jorge and Maikel Vistel, bring unique nuances to the album. From the soft dialogue in “Little Idea” to the intense interaction in “Strong Steps”, each track reveals the richness of polyrhythms and the deep connection between the instrumentalists. The album culminates with the charm of “Edificio17”, another gem by Jorge Vistel that closes this international musical experience with a flourish.

Convergence” is more than an album; it is a fascinating encounter of cultures, styles and virtuosity that invites listeners to immerse themselves in the magic of contemporary jazz. For more details, visit In and Out Jazz and let yourself be carried away by this exciting sonic journey.
