Omar Sosa: Afreecanos
by Chip Boaz
Forward-thinking Latin Jazz grows like a tree, starting with its roots and then the tree itself reaching high into the air. The roots represent the music's heritage; they are both the starting point and the foundation. The trunk symbolizes the musician's strongest connection to their roots, their background. The branches reach away from the tree, just ...
Omar Sosa: Promise
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ad ogni nuovo disco, la figura di Omar Sosa si conferma tra le più innovative e stimolanti del jazz d'inizio secolo. Usiamo il termine jazz pur consapevoli che la sua musica è talmente ricca e sfaccettata da sfuggire ad ogni classificazione.

Sosa's Monkness is more apparent in his solos, where he combines dissonance with a Don Pullen-like percussive approach. Sosa's beautiful pianism at first seems to ...
Omar Sosa: Mulatos Remix
by AAJ Staff
Given the source material for this remix project, expectations will no doubt be running high. Mulatos (Ota, 2004) brought Cuban pianist Omar Sosa's multilateral vision to his broadest international audience to date, earning Grammy and BBC Radio 3 nominations for its warm, flowing sound (as well as a spot on my own short list). Be prepared ...
