Harold Lpez-Nussa: NUEVA TIMBA CD

Description

Blue Note, 2025

On NUEVA TIMBA, the new Blue Note album from the Cuban-born pianist Harold Lpez-Nussa, the jazz vanguard meets multiple eras of Cubas musical history with results that are at once accessible, life-affirming and strikingly accomplished. Featuring a core of unmatched talent Harolds brother, Ruy Adrian Lpez-Nussa, on drums; Luques Curtis on bass; and the harmonica virtuoso Grgoire Maret it presents a definitive vision for the future of Latin jazz. Lpez-Nussa condenses the power of Benny Mors big band on Bonito y Sabroso, adding modern, psychedelic hues; offers a master class in classical virtuosity with an arrangement of Ernesto Lecuonas Gitanerias; and highlights his familys musical dynasty with a sublime rendition of Nia Con Violin, a piece written by his uncle, the acclaimed pianist Ernn Lpez-Nussa.

For all its overwhelming mastery, however, this album is foremost a journey a deeply personal narrative rooted in profound, often painful life changes. NUEVA TIMBA tells the very real story of a man displaced: a young father finding his way in a new country while missing his homeland with heartrending intensity; all the while, hes nursing other emotional wounds including the passing of his mother, and the compounding torment brings him to a state of despair. Slowly but surely, sunshine begins to poke through the clouds, and he discovers a path forward. Something like happiness returns to the horizon. Consider NUEVA TIMBA musical tears of joy.
