- Dec. 14, 2018 | Felix Contreras -- Cuba is known as much for their pianists as their percussionists - you'll see why with this performance.
Cuban pianist Harold López-Nussa and his trio open their performance with some help from a recording of famed Afro-Cuban folkloric singer Lázaro Ros. Ros is both a musical and spiritual guide for this performance; the trio dug deep into the ritual music of santeria for inspiration with "Eleguá," a tribute to one of the Afro-Cuban deities. (Special mention should be made of Harold's brother, Ruy López-Nussa, on drums, and bassist Gastón Joya, who both fill the spaces between the beats while elegantly leaving breathing room within the performances.)
"Preludio" demonstrates the telepathic connection between these musicians, while subtlety and emotion are not sacrificed for the slower tempo.
"Hialeah" has the recognizable piano riffs - called guajeos - that we can recognize as originating with Cuban dance music, but the trio deftly melds that rhythm to a complex jazz exploration, without compromising its danceable pulse.
Set List
"Elegua"
"Preludio (to José Juan)"

Once Again Today! :))) This one is masterpiece. I already have it in safe folder:)
At first, I was like 'meh'... then they let rip... wow! Sometimes I can find jazz a bit discordant, with everyone seemingly off doing their own thing, but these guys work together so well. Lovely to see and hear.
@M C spoken like a true jazz elitist lol
What amazing musicians.
reminds me of the feelings I had the very first time I was ever on a trampouline….as I got used to it I would bounce higher and higher and higher.
Maximo nivel!!!! Más no hay

Wow this is great.
Eleggua, is who opens the routes, so is logical to mention it at first, is a tribute in Yoruba language
Awesome performance! I think we need more jazz around here :) Why not bring Kamasi Washington or some young artists from the UK jazz scene? Alfa Mist, Yussef Dayes, Moses Boyd, Shabaka Hutchlings, etc.
yep
