  • Description

    In the 80s, Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache band personified Afro-Cuban based, New Yorican music. In the '90s, the Argentine keyboardist/composer Guillermo Klein burst an the scene with his contrapuntal, tango-meets-jazz musicianship. Now, in the 21 st century, TIMBA is pleased to present Soundances, the debut recording of Klein's countryman, trumpeter/flugelhornist Diego Urcola.
    The Buenos Aires born, New York City based Urcola has worked with a staggering and impressive list of musicians in the last five years, including Jimmy Heath, Joe Henderson, Milt Jackson, Slide
    Hampton, Avishai Cohen, Claudia Acuna, Danilo Perez and Paquito D'Rivera, who featured him in the hit film, Calle 54. This CD, his second as a leader, was recorded in his hometown in 2003.
    Soundances is more than a showcase for Diego Urcola's talents. It's also a showcase for the amazing musical gifts of his native land. "Argentinean music is very rich and diverse. In my
    opinion its best qualities are melodies and the passion." Those qualities also belong to this important musician.
