about

This is Pablo Ablanedo's second leader recording for Fresh Sound New Talent. The critically-acclaimed "From Down Here" has earned him a place alongside the great young jazz composers of his generation. Originally from Argentina, Pablo recorded this album in New York along with a host of other excellent young jazz players, who some will recognise form their recordings on the FSNT label: Chris Cheek on saxophones, Taylor Haskins on trumpet, Ben Monder on guitar and Fernando Huergo on bass.

"Today it may seem odd to name an album "Alegria". I would just like to mention that the name of my work, "Alegria" (Joy), alludes to the happiness of creation. It refers to an intimate and jubilant space in my soul that I try to cultivate and care for each day. It is also a place where I find shelter, and that protection leads me to action. When I finally finished this work, the idea of resistance by using joy as a shield lingered, so I decided to keep the name for this CD. Here is this music, like a barricade of hope for these times in which we all live."

REVIEWS:

“With his latest effort, Argentine pianist/composer Pablo Ablanedo pronounces a sense of joy. In the liners, the artist emphasizes that this work “alludes to the happiness of creation.” To that end, Ablanedo and his octet disseminate a set of emotive musings via a Spanish-tinged luster combined with polychordal horn charts and more.“ (4 ½ stars) Glenn Astarita, DownBeat Magazine (US)

“One of our most inventive young jazz composers and one of the most innovative contemporary ensembles. It’s music you need to know.” (5 Stars) Lee Prosser, Jazzreview

“Alegría has cemented Pablo Ablanedo’s reputation as an innovative and yet disciplined composer who promises even more noteworthy work in the future." Bill Donaldson, Cadence Magazine (US)

“Most of it is magnificent and will stand the test of time.” (4 Stars) (JazzWise) (UK)
