SUMMARY:Harold López-Nussa
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated Cuban pianist Harold López-Nussa makes his Blue Note debut with Timba a la Americana\, a vibrant fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythms and contemporary jazz. Inspired by his recent move from Havana to France\, the music reflects both longing and discovery. Joined by a powerhouse band and produced by Snarky Puppy’s Michael League\, López-Nussa explores new sonic territory while staying rooted in Cuban tradition.\nOn NUEVA TIMBA\, the new Blue Note album from the Cuban-born pianist Harold López-Nussa\, the jazz vanguard meets multiple eras of Cuba’s musical history with results that are at once accessible\, life-affirming and strikingly accomplished. Featuring a core of unmatched talent — Harold’s brother\, Ruy Adrian López-Nussa\, on drums; Luques Curtis on bass; and the harmonica virtuoso Grégoire Maret — it feels like a definitive vision for the future of Latin jazz. \nOn “Bonito y Sabroso\,” López-Nussa condenses the power of Benny Moré’s big band into a small-group arrangement\, then adds modern\, psychedelic hues through electronics and the beat-making of José Angel Blanco\, a.k.a. El Negro WADPRO. Other highlights include “Niña Con Violin\,” written by López-Nussa’s uncle\, the acclaimed pianist Ernán López-Nussa\, with gorgeous melodic bass work from Curtis. An arrangement of Ernesto Lecuona’s “Gitanerias” offers a master class in accenting classical virtuosity with a contemporary rhythmic thrust. The López-Nussa original “Cerca y Lejos” boasts welcome shades of early fusion-era Chick Corea. \nFor all its overwhelming mastery\, however\, this album is foremost a journey — a deeply personal narrative rooted in profound\, often painful life changes. \nNUEVA TIMBA tells the very real story of a man displaced: a young father finding his way in a new country while missing his homeland with heartrending intensity; all the while\, he’s nursing other emotional wounds including the passing of his mother\, and the compounding torment brings him to a state of despair. Slowly but surely\, sunshine begins to poke through the clouds\, and he discovers a path forward. Something like happiness returns to the horizon. Consider NUEVA TIMBA musical tears of joy.

SUMMARY:Celtic Baroque
DESCRIPTION:Tonight\, we hear music from Ireland\, Quebec\, Germany and New England with an interweaving thread of Baroque Music and techniques. At a time when Telemann and Bach were composing fugues in continental Europe\, the Bardic harping tradition was alive and vibrant in Ireland resulting in a whole repertoire of Irish harp tunes that are now carried via pipes\, fiddles and a host of different instruments. We have the stunning sounds of Montreal-based violist Alexis Chartrand\, bringing his unique Gut-bow approach to traditional Quebec repertoire. In contrast\, the GRAMMY-nominated violinist Christina Day\, along with theorbist Michael Leopold\, performs one of Heinrich Biber’s Mystery Sonatas. Artistic Director Maeve Gilchrist will also bring in longtime collaborator Kyle Sanna and bassist Logan Coale to premier some new music for harp and electric guitar inspired by a Seamus Heaney translation of a middle English Poem on the mysticism of Hares! Don’t miss this richly imaginative evening of 17th century inspired exploration in a completely contemporary fashion!

SUMMARY:The Sweet Remains

Greg’s work extends beyond music—he co-wrote and directed The Independents\, inspired by the band’s real-life experiences\, and often collaborates with his wife\, Tony-winner Kelli O’Hara. Brian Chartrand\, a celebrated Phoenix-based songwriter\, has released numerous solo albums and tours internationally\, including as the creator of Live From Laurel Canyon\, a critically acclaimed tribute to folk-rock legends like CSN\, Neil Young\, and Joni Mitchell. \nWith Embers\, The Sweet Remains continue their legacy\, following in the footsteps of their beloved catalog: Music Fills The Spaces (2020)\, Night Songs (2015)\, North & Prospect (2012)\, and Laurel & Sunset (2008).
