J.F.R. (Jazz For Republicans) is an experimental jazz odyssey that captures the raw complexity of today’s social and political landscape. Created by saxophonist Seba Molnar with trumpeter Billy Buss, bassist Max Ridley, pianist David Ling and drummer Tyson Jackson, as well as guest feature by poet and vocalist Dzidzor Azaglo on Track 3, this provocative album blends improvisation, poetry, and sampled soundscapes in a free-flowing exploration of frustration, division, protest and the search for common ground. Each track deconstructs political themes through dynamic instrumentation and emotional nuance, inviting listeners to grapple with the discord of polarization while celebrating the transformative power of music as a tool for dialogue and reflection.
