CHUCHO VALDES & THE AFRO-CUBAN MESSENGERS | |
| Date | (Fri) Jun 21, 2013 at 8:00 PM | |
| Description |
Playing selections from their new album Border-Free Cuba’s foremost pianist has developed a brand new repertoire. Boasting a new line-up for his band, The Afro-Cubans Messengers, his new album takes us through an eclectic range of pieces. His dazzling virtuosity as a pianist, his prodigious talents as a composer, and his ingenious arrangements unite to create a music that enthralls. Alongside new sources of inspiration (the music of the North American Indians and of the ArabAndalusian culture), the album is infused with the verve of Valdés’ early trailblazing Cuban Jazz ensemble Irakere, his nostalgia for Cuban big bands, the punch of hard bop, the magical rhythms of the Yoruba drums, and of course the spiritual lyricism which is the mark of all great jazz Produced in association with Blue Note Jazz Festival |
