Continuum CD (Pi Recordings)

Pianist and composer David Virelles makes his Pi Recordings debut with "Continuum," a collaborative project featuring drummer Andrew Cyrille, bassist Ben Street, and Cuban folkloric percussionist/poet Román Díaz. Born in Cuba, Virelles was influenced by the island's rich musical traditions and jazz. The album draws inspiration from Cuban folklore and ritual practices and delves into the sociocultural interactions of these traditions. Poet and percussionist Román Díaz adds a theatrical and mysterious element to the music. The project combines the experience of musicians from different generations, creating a mature, expressive, and unique narrative in jazz.
