The members of the duo Jamhunters are Peter Michael, keyboard and Lars Fabiansen, guitar. The repertoire consists of own compositions in a style that can be described as a unique mix of smooth jazz/lounge music mixed with pop- funk- and Latin-rhythms.*
*The starting signal for the smooth jazz duo was August 15th 2006 with the release of their debut album: Jamhunters.
Peter and Lars have been working as musicians for many years and have worked together before in the bands Take Five in 1988 and Heart and Soul in 1995.
In 2006 they decided to revive their work by releasing their mutual compositions under the name Jamhunters.
"The ideas and the shape of the music had been ready for a long time, and when Gateway Music wanted to release it, we decided it was time," Lars says.
We create the compositions in a mutual working process like a jam session, where both Lars and Peter bring up their ideas. It is exactly that working process, which gives the unique European smooth jazz sound that characterizes Jamhunters.
Jamhunters' debut album won international attention on internet radios in Germany, Norway, USA, China and Japan.
Scandinavian Airlines decided to present Jamhunters to their passengers on overseas flights by including the track Close Your Eyes on their jazz channel.
The American internet radio "Smooth Jazz and More" proclaimed the debut album the best of the year within the genre.

On March 15th 2008 the duo released their second cd: Music Speaks Louder Than Words, and it was very well received.



REVIEWS OF "MUSIC SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS":
Single of the year honors have to include a shout-out to guitarist Lars Fabiansen and keyboardist Peter Michael, the duo behind the smooth-and-lounge of Jamhunters. They find plenty of sweet jam on "The Pier," a swaying bossa-nova confection with Fabiansen's Benson-studied riffs and Christina Boelskifte's wordless phrasing. But that's just the start. Like Jamhunters' previous CDs, there's plenty of playfulness, including vocal hooklines and speaking parts, thrown in to spice up the groove.
It should be apparent now that while Fabiansen lives in chill-music-lovin' Denmark and Jamhunters have a vaguely defined electronic aura about them, it is all centered on groove and shiny feelings. Very smooth, indeed, and very sensual, like the lazy jazz ballad "Jamfadin'." They've got the goods elsewhere as well: the thick bass beat in "Room for Milk," the shuffle groove in "Eurabian Fantasy," the extended Rhodes jam in "Paralyzed," and the party-like spirit a la Marvin Gaye and Ramsey Lewis in "Shoot." Throw in some soulful vocal tunes, some sax by Hans Ulrik and plenty of progressive jamming, and you've got top-notch, fresh smooth jazz done right. Not all of the best smooth jazz comes out of the U.S., that's for sure.

The star-soloists Hans Ulrik, Klaus Menzer, Moussa Diallo and Christina Boelskifte are guests on both of Jamhunters' albums.
Chris Minh Doky and Frank Senior make a guest appearance on the album Music Speaks Louder Than Words.
Chris Minh Doky is based in New York and recognized for his passion as an artist and his technical ability. With his elegant and unerring style he imparts a specific depth to two of the tracks.
Frank Senior is an extraordinary soul/jazz singer with deep roots in the jazz milieu of Harlem, whom Lars and Peter met at their live performance in New York.
In the autumn of 2006 Jamhunters started their live performances in co-operation with Lise Dandanell. Jamhunters performed at Dandanells art exhibition on Katrinelund. The idea was to combine smooth jazz and art, which Jamhunters at the time worked with in their Feel-Good-Zone movies. The movies are still available on Jamhunters website.
The duo has toured in Denmark since 2006 together with star musicians and soloists Hans Ulrik, Christina Boelskifte, Klaus Menzer, Andre Sørensen, Nis Toxværd, Henrik Jørgensen and again Lise Dandanell.
The great interest from the American audience led to a visit to New York in November 2007 with live performances at the clubs Googie's Lounge and Rockwood Music Hall. Again in November 2008 Jamhunters returned to the Big Apple performing live at Shrine in Harlem and at the legendary Jazz club Smalls on Manhattan, New York.
Their live performance in Denmark to a co-operation with singer and composer Martin Brygmann. Jamhunters and Brygmann call their show A Nightclub in New York.
The show offers an evening with night club atmosphere in the manner of The Big Apple with Brygmann as crooner to the tones of Jamhunters' smooth jazz.
