Release Notes:
Mr. Rubalcaba's improvised single-note lines, with lots of built-
in space, are like commands from a great height.ö - The New York
Times
For his 13th Blue Note Records album, Avatar, Gonzalo Rubalcaba
again asserts his renown as a pianist with, according to the All
Music Guide, ôunlimited potential.ö In many ways, the album is a
departure for Rubalcaba who assembled a quintet of young New York
-based musicians - saxophonist Yosvany Terry, trumpet/flugelhorn
player Mike Rodriguez, bassist Matt Brewer and drummer Marcus
Gilmore - who had never performed together before, took them on
the road for three weeks and then settled into the studio to
capture the improvisational alchemy of what was by then a truly
simpatico group. The result is a fresh, invigorating, lyrical gem
of an album, featuring seven tunes that teem with intricate
instrumental dialogues.
