latest ALBUM
New Release: "Three Views of a Musical Piece feat. Aruán Ortiz" – A Sonic Exploration in Three Acts
I am thrilled to announce the release of my latest album, *"Three Views of a Musical Piece feat. Aruán Ortiz,"* which officially dropped on August 14, 2024. This project is particularly special, as it represents not just one, but three unique interpretations of a single musical work, each offering a distinct sonic experience. Available in both digital and hardcopy formats, this 3-CD album invites listeners to immerse themselves in the intricate layers of a composition through varied arrangements and instrumentation.
Three Arrangements, Three Perspectives
1. Piano and String Quartet
The first arrangement presents a dialogue between the piano and a string quartet, where Aruán Ortiz’s masterful touch on the keys merges with the lush, emotive sounds of the strings. This setting emphasizes the lyrical and harmonic richness of the piece, creating an intimate and evocative atmosphere.
2. Jazz Sextet
The second arrangement shifts the focus to a jazz sextet. Here, the composition takes on a more dynamic and improvisational character. The interplay between brass, woodwinds, piano, and rhythm section brings a lively, spontaneous energy to the piece, highlighting its rhythmic complexities and jazz influences.
3. Jazz Orchestra with String Quartet and Piano
The third and final arrangement is perhaps the most ambitious, featuring my Jazz Orchestra alongside a string quartet and piano. This grand ensemble combines the best of both worlds—symphonic depth and jazz spontaneity. The resulting soundscape is vast and textured, offering a powerful conclusion to the musical journey.
A Collaborative Effort with Aruán Ortiz
It has been an honor to collaborate with Aruán Ortiz, whose virtuosic piano playing adds a distinctive voice to this project. His ability to navigate the nuances of each arrangement, whether in the context of chamber music, jazz, or orchestral settings, brings a cohesiveness to the album that is both refreshing and profound.
"Three Views of a Musical Piece feat. Aruán Ortiz" is now available. Whether you’re a fan of chamber music, jazz, or orchestral compositions, this album has something to offer. I invite you to explore these three distinct perspectives and discover the different dimensions they reveal within the music.

I hope this album resonates with you as much as it did with us during its creation.
