If you’re looking for a fresh take on contemporary jazz, Eamonn Conor’s “Table 17” is definitely worth a listen. This track is a relaxing, upbeat piece that immediately grabs your attention with its keyboard tunes and hypnotic rhythm. Conor’s soft timbre perfectly combines his romantic lyricism and even more romantic trumpet composition. However, the way Conor built the song up to the trumpet crescendo turned the whole song around, so props to the masterful production.

With its catchy beats and Conor’s tranquil voice, this song is a testament to Conor’s ability to blend different sounds and create a unique sonic experience seamlessly. His singing is full of nuance and subtlety, and he deftly balances improvisation with structure in “Table 17.” And if you still haven’t figured him out yet, he loves Michael Jackson. I mean, the fact alone is told all over his music. Other than that, The Weeknd—or the ultimate modern revitalization of Michael Jackson is another of his biggest inspirations. Eamonn Conor created a spin off his favorite stars with his own take and style.

The saxophone solo in the middle of the track is a highlight, with Conor’s collaborator bringing a soulful energy to the mix. The saxophonist’s lines dance around Conor’s piano, weaving in and out of the groove and building up to a satisfying climax.

Overall, “Table 17” showcases Conor’s impressive skills as a singer and composer, and his ability to create a captivating atmosphere with his music.
