New Conceptions

New Conceptions (2003) more music like this

by Chucho Valdés

Although pianist Chucho Valdés starts things off with a precise and danceable interpretation of Ernesto Lecuona's "La Comparsa" on New Conceptions, the classical and operatic themes explored on 2002's Fantasia Cubana: Variations on Classical Themes are largely implied this time around. Valdés is a superb classically trained technician with a lush ...

Babalu Ayé (1999) more music like this

by Chucho Valdés & Irakere

Irakere came on the scene in the late '70s with a style of Latin jazz that incorporated soaring jazz brass with quite traditional Cuban rhythms, and punctuated by electric guitars and a funky bass.

Virtuoso

Virtuoso (2005) more music like this

by Chucho Valdés

It's not that Chucho Valdés' Virtuoso fails to dazzle -- this is the same swift-fingered Valdés who plunked and pounded so appealingly alongside Buena Vista Social Club, after all -- but it does take a couple of weird turns. The first several tracks land on unsuspecting ears like lullabies, the trouble there being not that they're overly gentle or ...

As Long as You're Living Yours: The Music of Keith Jarrett

As Long as You're Living Yours: The Music of Keith Jarrett (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

The songbook craze wheels around to the compositions of Keith Jarrett, which ought to be an oxymoron since we're dealing with an artist who usually makes up things on the wing. Yet it works, for not only does this package isolate and spotlight some nice tunes by the prolific pianist; it also honors his eclectic bent by roaming all over the ...

United Nations of Messidor (1996) more music like this

Finger-popping, toe-tapping stuff, this, and ...
