Lambert & Immortal Onion JAZZFESTIVAL FREIBURG 2026

"I am not Lambert" & "Technaturalism"

Lambert "I am not Lambert"

Lambert is back - or was he never gone? With "I am not Lambert", the Berlin-based pianist, composer and producer releases an album that combines the familiar and the new. For the first time, vocals come into focus alongside his virtuoso piano playing. Supported by guests such as Kat Frankie, Dekker, Rob Goodwin and his regular collaborators Daniel Schaub, Marie-Claire Schlameus and Ralph Heidel, this album creates a multi-layered sound between neoclassical, pop and jazz.

Lambert has always played with identity and staging - his iconic mask has become a trademark. But behind the enigma is above all the music: emotional, versatile and surprisingly accessible. Even live, this mixture of intimacy and experimentation remains his trademark. "I am not Lambert" shows an artist who reinvents himself without losing himself - and proves that ultimately it's not who Lambert is, but how he sounds.

Immortal Onion "Technaturalism"

Immortal Onion, a group that has been earning acclaim both in Poland and abroad for years, returns with its latest album "Technaturalism". The band has established itself as one of the most exciting acts of the new wave of Polish jazz. Their unique style and international reach is reflected in performances in 26 countries across Europe and Asia.

After three highly acclaimed albums - their debut "Ocelot of Salvation", "XD [Experience Design]" and "Screens", recorded together with saxophonist Michał Jan Ciesielski - Immortal Onion continues to refine their unique sound. "Technaturalism" takes their sound in a new direction and goes beyond jazz to create something new. The album offers a captivating fusion of hardstyle energy and delicate, lyrical moments, showcasing how the band blends modern technology with an organic sensibility.
