Description
This debut album by Amsterdam-based guitarist Johnny Biner is a modern day jazz piece, with hints of soul, funk, hip-hop, and latin jazz as well. It's the follow-up of his 7-inch 'Don't Ask Me/Way Too Long', which came out in 2023 and launched his solo endeavours. Johnny's compositions are filled with warmth and unexpected left turns, such as the raw banger 'Tonic Water' (which got featured on the Super-Sonic Jazz compilation) and the beautiful samba-inspired jazz-funk tune 'Pick It Up'. There are lots of layers to this musician, and they're all cohesive with his sound.
The album obviously is a way out for the artist, from creating it at home or in the studio with his close musician friends and sharing it with the public. But the process has equally been a healing way out of the everyday life. Think of the moments when music teleports your mind out of the earthly spheres, into the more universal ones, this is what 'A Way Out' would represent as well. The power of honest music.
"If US guitarist Isaiah Sharkey and Brazilian guitarist Toninho Horta would've had a European baby, it could've made 'A Way Out'."
