about

Lento is the latest work by Kansas City-based Alber, blending smooth jazz, electronica, and instrumental hip-hop. Described as “consummate chill-out music for the cool kids of today” while also appealing to “old-school smooth jazz fans,” Alber’s music is a result of his experiences as a musician traveling the world. Coming out two years after his sophomore album Journey, Lento is a deeper, further developed take on his sonic aesthetic.
The inspiration for Lento (“slow” in Italian) comes from a deep yearning for contemplation and thoughtfulness, a desire to go against modern trends aimed at producing an increasingly absent-minded and vapid consumer base. “’Lento’ is one of those recurring words in my mind; one of my personal reminders to take it easy and live in the present, absorbing every instant,” says Alber.
In a memory vortex filled by old detective movies on VHS, randomly acquired beat cassette tapes, and countless hours of band practice, Alber’s music is a survey of his experiences as an immigrant musician living in America. Steam, neon lights, foreign languages, and a jazz record playing somewhere nearby are some of the daily inspirations for his sound concept. Plastic Sax’s Bill Brownlee describes his music as resembling “a worn-out cassette of Miles Davis’ 1984 album Decoy or a sun-warped vinyl copy of a mid-’70s Bob James’ recording.”
