Composer/Bandleader Roland Vazquez Proudly Announces The Release of Roland Vazquez Band: The Visitor
Roland Vazquez Band
The Visitor is Vazquez’ tenth album as composer/leader, his first studio recording in thirteen years, & a 19-piece all-star Afro Latin “big band” project made possible thru a grant from The Aaron Copland Fund For Music.
The Roland Vazquez Band featuring:
Aaron Heick, Joel Frahm, Dan Willis, Roger Rosenberg, Tony Kadleck, Alex Norris
Luis Perdomo (piano), James Genus (bass), Ignacio Berroa (drums), Samuel Torres (congas & percussion), Pete McCann (guitar) and Roland Vazquez (composer/conductor/producer
To know Roland Vazquez is to know his music, and vice versa. Like many true artists, his work is inseparable from the essence of his character. One can hear in the music of Vazquez, the powerful optimism, wisdom, love, humor and joy that exudes so effortlessly from the man. Nowhere has this been more prevalent than on the award-winning and critically-acclaimed composer, bandleader and drummer’s glorious new recording, The Visitor, to be released on RVCD through iTunes on July 8, and through http://www.cdbaby.com/all/rvcd on August 9.
Since his last studio album, Further Dance, Vazquez has been most active writing new music, performing with his Quintet, and presenting works for various ensembles while giving clinics, lectures, and performances at residencies around the country (Berklee School of Music, Eastman School of Music, UCCM, Ohio University, and others). In addition, he has dedicated time to teaching (Jazz Faculty at Manhattan School of Music, 1988-1998, and The University of Michigan, 2000-2005). Vazquez also spent an amazing, productive year in Rome as an Artist-in-Residence at the American Academy, collaborating with jazz and world musicians in Italy.
What a thrill for listeners to experience the return of Roland Vazquez with The Visitor, a joyously gripping recording that presents over 72 minutes of dynamic & demanding music which Vazquez has been conceptualizing, refining and composing during the past thirty years.
Recorded Feb 28, March 1-2, The Visitor (RVD7007) was made possible in part through the generous support of the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, Inc. Recording Grant Program. The Visitor will be available on iTunes on July 8, and through http://www.cdbaby.com/all/rvcd on August 9, 2010.
