Album reviews: Huapango Nights
What critics and jazz media in Poland wrote about the debut album, a meeting of Mexican folk music and contemporary jazz. Quotes translated from Polish. Get the CD.
“Huapango Nights – It is simply done with class, with great musical awareness, accessibility and hitmanship.”
“Over 40 minutes of a fruitful encounter between Mexican folk music and contemporary jazz, and at the same time a bold and successful phonographic debut.”
“A promising debut album, which shows potential and talent, and is definitely worth checking out.”
“Seductive and surprising. The leader managed to arouse the appetite for further meetings with his works.”
“The leader’s acrobatic virtuosity makes a great impression. An excellent phonographic debut of the Mexican jazz violinist who has settled in Poland on the Vistula River.”
“Eduardo moves gracefully across different emotional planes, keeping a level head and giving the whole record a professionalism that lifts this album above the ordinary.”
“It sounds wonderful: unpretentious music in an excellent performance. […] He is definitely worth following, because the sources of inspiration and the skills of this artist are exceptionally rich.”
“This Latin-Slavic amalgam allowed to create an extraordinary album, which successfully intertwines Mexican airiness with Polish consistency, folk melodies with jazz improvisations.”
“The artist knows how to translate the lessons of the masters into his own, very interesting musical story.”
Recommended by Dionizy Piątkowski, jazz enthusiast and promoter.
