Swiss guitarist Gianfranco GFN returns with Jumping Around, an exuberant instrumental track that delivers a high-octane blend of acid-jazz, soul, and funk-infused rhythm. Teasing what’s to come on his upcoming full-length album, this latest single sets the tone with a contagious energy that’s equal parts dancefloor-ready and musically sophisticated.
From the first downbeat, Jumping Around bursts to life with tight percussion by Lucien Matthey and a fluid bassline by David Caraccio that locks in effortlessly with Nicolas Pittet’s lively drumming. Claude-Alain Biedermann’s keyboard flourishes add color and groove, while Fred Stalder’s trumpet lines inject a brassy boldness that elevates the track's dynamism. All of it is anchored by Gianfranco’s signature guitar work, fluid, rhythmic, and always in service to the collective groove.
What’s most impressive about Jumping Around is its cohesion. Despite being an instrumental, it communicates joy, movement, and soul without ever saying a word. The chemistry between players is palpable, and the live recording style brings warmth and authenticity that’s often missing in digital-era jazz fusion.
Perfect for fans of acid-jazz, jam bands, and funk soul instrumentals, Jumping Around is an irresistible groove trip that lives up to its name. Gianfranco GFN proves that great music speaks fluently even without lyrics.
