Yosvany Terry Cabrera | Metamorphosis – [Kindred Rhythm, 2006]

Yosvany Terry Cabrera

Born in Cuba, Terry received his early music training from his father, Eladio “Don Pancho” Terry, Cuba’s leading chekeré player and the founder/director of Orquesta Maravillas de Florida, one of Cuba’s most important charanga bands. Continuing his music studies in Cuba, Terry attended the National School of Art (ENA) and Amadeo Roldan Conservatory. He played with many legendary and influential artists such as Chucho Valdés, Cubanismo and Silvio Rodriguez. Later Terry formed his own group, the innovative Columna B, which, as Cuban pianist Omar Sosa has said in an interview, took “Cuban jazz in a different direction” and was “his favorite band at that time” (Latin Beat Magazine, Tom Ehrlich). Soon, Terry and Columna B were touring in both the U.S. and Europe. Open to the many influences in the international music scene, Terry’s music continued to evolve, incorporating other styles such as American jazz and timba music from Cuba. “We learned how to polish and develop our craft in a very special and intuitive sense,” reflects Terry.

Gretchen Parlato

Gretchen Parlato’s voice is a thing of wonder. Striking the ideal balance between precision and flexibility, she is never predictable, blurring the lines between singer and instrumentalist as she takes a lyric–and at other times improvised flights of wordless fancy–to places it’s never before been. On In a Dream, her debut album for ObliqSound, Parlato and her intuitive support team reinvent constantly, Parlato impeccably articulating in a voice so ethereal that the listener might very well feel that he or she is “in a dream.”
