Tomba
bass composer bandleader
Tombajazz the funky jazz project from Munich
Bassist Tomba has selected well-known musicians from the Munich jazz scene. The project started in 2020 and the idea was to bring together a selection of great jazz musicians from Munich. The first single „The Senate“ (Miles Davis,Foley) was created in collaboration with Grammy-nominated artist and rapper Kokayi (USA) and was released in January 2021 as part of the BLM movement.
Now I am excited to anounce the new single “Move On”
Move On is an AI-generated version of my pre-production. It was an experiment to let AI inspire me to create an alternative arrangement. Most jazz musicians might abhor this process. The question is, are we allowed to take this step? I selected this one version out of ten so you can see what’s happening and what’s possible. In this version, I made three audio edits to the arrangement and then mastered it to
the correct levels. I didn’t change anything in the mix. The AI took the chords, theme, etc., from my arrangement layout. Solos, improvisations on sax, keyboards, guitar accompaniment, bass, and drums were all altered by the AI. It’s fascinating and frightening at the same time what emerges. Decide for yourselves what you think and feel free to leave your comments.
„Move On“ will then be featured in a final version with real musicians on the upcoming album.
The song will be online on all common streaming platforms out on 13.02.2026.
