Ramona Horvath - Absinthe (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

Absinthe: A Double-Faced Project Absinthe is a celebration of rarity and reinvention: whether it’s rediscovering obscure compositions or transforming well-known pop melodies into something entirely fresh. Originally, the project focused on unearthed, rarely played works by Billy Strayhorn, but the idea grew into something more expansive. Absinthe unfolds in two complementary parts: In acoustic trio, Ramona reimagines pop songs from the 70s and 80s through a jazz lens, bringing out their emotional and harmonic richness. In quartet, she delves into little-known works by Billy Strayhorn and other overlooked composers, reshaping them with both reverence and freedom. What ties it all together is Ramona’s deep musical memory and her love for melody — whether drawn from Broadway, jazz standards, or the pop songs of her childhood. Now, under the spell of Absinthe, imagine for a moment what might have happened if Erroll Garner, Red Garland, or Tommy Flanagan had met Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, or Billy Joel. Ramona makes these imagined encounters come alive — with arrangements that are both unexpected and irresistible.
