Angel Zaberski Jr. was born in Sofia in a family of musicians - Angel Yankov Zaberski and Margarita Radinska. He started playing the piano at the age of 6. Graduating the National School of Music "Lubomir Pipkov", he was drafted to a two-year military service, mandatory at the time. When he came back to civil life, he continued his education at the National Academy of Music "Pancho Vladiguerov" where he majored in “Composition and Conducting”. Zaberski, Jr. studied counterpoint, musical forms and music theory - the foundation of a serious musical education. At the same time he made his first steps in jazz. Decisive moment for the future of the young Zaberski, Jr. was a recording of the pianist Oscar Peterson that Zaberski received as a gift from his father. The music of that piano virtuoso started a new musical path for Zaberski, Jr. At that time the talented student found himself inspired also by Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Art Tatum and many others. He eagerly began listening to jazz and collecting records. Excited by the development of the jazz scene in Bulgaria, Zaberski, Jr. attended all the concerts of the Bulgarian jazz performers. "Acoustic Version"- Antony Donchev and Christo Yotsov, Simeon Shterev "Banana", Ludmil Georgiev, Mario Stanchev, Stoyan Yankoulov, Vassil Parmakov, Ventzy Blagoev, Teodosy Stoykov are only a small number of the jazz musicians that in the 80's were playing at “Under The Opera” club in Sofia.
The first formation of Angel Zaberski Jr. was a trio featuring Dimitar Dimitrov (drums) and Peter Slavov, Jr. (bass). The three musicians realized multiple tracks in "Jazz Time" program broadcasted on the Bulgarian National Television. In the same time Zaberski wrote his first orchestration for Big Band - "The Days of Wine and Roses", music by Henry Mancini. Orchestral music became a priority for the young composer and he continued his studies in the American method of arranging Big Band and symphonic music on his own. Huge influence at the time were Thad Jones, Henry Mancini, Don Sebesky, Bob Brookmayer, Bill Holman, Quincy Jones, Gil Evans , Sammy Nestico, Russell Garcia, Ernie Wilkins, Peter Herboltzheimer, Frank Foster, Don Menza.
