EMILIO SOLLA TANGO JAZZ ORCHESTRA – PUERTOS (2019)
A life at sea is one of adventure, mystery, and intrigue. For most of modernity, traveling by water has been a principal pathway of migration. Tracing these routes doesn’t just yield insights into our collective history, but also our musical one. When people of different countries and civilizations collide, so do their cultures, cuisines, and compositions. Herein is the spark of “Puertos: Music of International Waters”: a diverse and dazzling, triumphant, and tantalizing album for “all hands” by acclaimed bandleader, composer, and arranger Emilio Solla.
