Sounds of passion and emotion, a multi-cultural product of the band's hometown of New Haven, CT USA. Formed in the late 1980's the band has survived the ups and downs of today's frantic society with total dedication to their music, skills, and goals. With rare virtue, thought, and imagination these multi-faceted and experienced musicians have collaborated to create their own unique personal expression, original sound, and trademark in jazz music.
Compositions and performances of Airborne contain: Moods of romance, inner spirit, peace, fun, and excitement. Grooves that move soft, smooth, and wild. Hot rhythms that cruise on a cool sea of music and voices. A trademark jazz sound of island passion and urban emotion.
Music that is sensitive, straight from the heart and echo's from deep within the soul. A whirling musical journey packed with sincerity and flawless execution.
Airbornes musical recipe takes a can of straight ahead jazz with Caribbean and Latino influences. Pours in a few tablespoons of jazz fusion and a heaping cup of urban street funk. Then cooks all ingredients with pure technical talent till it gets boiling hot.

Their career is forever blossoming with each new recording project. All their CDs have made very successful marks on Jazz Radio Charts all over the USA and abroad with heavy airplay rotation.
