Honduran/Spanish singer, songwriter and composer Eva Cortés delivers a revelatory set of flamenco and blues-tinged Latin jazz on her newest record, Todas las Voces. Working for the second time with producer, arranger and trombonist Doug Beavers (Eddie Palmieri, Spanish Harlem Orchestra), Cortés has brought aboard a flight of top-shelf New York musicians for the date, including Christian McBride, Eric Harland, Elio Villafranca, Luisito Quintero, Román Filiú and Luques Curtis. Weaving together a tapestry of captivating, original compositions and popular Latin American mainstays, Eva Cortés also adds a social footnote by dedicating the song "Desterado/Exiled" to the actual immigrant crisis not only at the Southern border of the U.S. but also as a lover the world.
