Diego Pinera - REFLEXIONES

Diego Pinera ]|[ REFLEXIONES -(MP3)- [Octason Records, 2011]

This album reflects not only Diego Pinera’s personal but also the current world of modern, avant-garde Latin jazz. The close link between musical concepts of Latin American origin, the omnipresent tradition of American jazz and the discovery of new forms and metrics are the key brand of the album. It was easy to take guest soloist Tony Lakatos on the musical journey. With his warm tenor and soprano sound the world famous saxophonist energetically as well as adventurously blends in the ensemble, and provides the listener with excellent ‘lines’.

Any fear to get an album for percussion freaks is unfounded. Each member of the band is equally present, Tino Derado ensures the harmony and boasts impressive improvisations, Marcel Krömker provides the necessary steadiness and ‘basis’ of the quintet on double bass. A special highlight is percussionist Robby Geerken: all drums and percussion fans will find their costs repaid no later than with the last tune ‘Familia’.

2011 Copenhagen Jazz Festival

Joshua Redman at The Copenhagen Jazz Festival

“Copenhagen is a wonderful, wonderful place to get lost in, especially when the cause is jazz. Newcomers to the city, and to the seductive, seasoned Copenhagen Jazz Festival-up to its 32nd edition this summer-will find before them an almost dizzying density of a program, which extends to multiple venues all over the city.” –JazzTimes, 2010

“The Copenhagen Jazz Festival is a varied extravaganza that leans from the summer festival blockbusters and makes sure to demonstrate diversity” –DownBeat, 2009
