Description
This album is the culmination of a personal and musical journey, born from my curiosity and deep reflection on what it means to be a Latin jazz guitarist. It’s an exploration of how Afro-Caribbean elements—clave, montunos, tumbaos, rhythms, and melodies—can be woven into the fabric of jazz guitar. The result is a conversation between tradition and innovation, a blending of the harmonic sophistication of jazz with the rhythmic soul of Afro-Caribbean music.
The question at the heart of this project was simple yet profound: What could the Latin side of jazz guitar sound like? Each track is an answer, showcasing how the guitar can stand as an equal to instruments like the piano, cuatro, or tres in leading a band melodically, harmonically, and rhythmically.
