steinway.jpg

Excited about mixing my next album in early August! I am happy to announce "Butterflies and Zebras", by Ditmas Quartet, will be released on Fresh Sound New Talent. Each recording is different, each photo of a moment is truly different and unique. The music is always new, challenging and full of different emotions each time. The learning process is endless. I feel really fortunate that I am and chose to be a musician, a pianist and a composer. And by that I get to work with amazing and dedicated musicians. It feels just right to listen back, make choices and process that great picture of a moment so it becomes alive. Peace.Estoy muy contenta de mezclar mi próximo disco a principios de agosto! Tengo el placer de anunciar que "Butterflies and Zebras", por Ditmas Quartet, será editado por el sello Fresh Sound New Talent. Cada grabación es diferente, cada foto de un momento es realmente diferente y única. La música es siempre nueva, desafiante y cargada de emociones distintas cada vez. El proceso de aprendizaje es interminable. Me siento muy afortunada de ser y de haber elegido ser músico, pianista y compositora. Y por ello tengo la oportunidad de trabajar con músicos increíbles y dedicados. Sienta realmente bien escuchar de nuevo, tomar decisiones para procesar esa gran fotografía de un momento y que ésta cobre vida. Salud.

Ditmas Quartet was formed in 2013 in Brooklyn and is a collaboration between pianist Eva Novoa, saxophonist Michaël Attias, bassist Max Johnson & drummer Jeff Davis. This quartet experiments with diverse sounds and textures. The band members play mostly their own original compositions giving lots of freedom in their playing making each performance different and unique. It is an organic ensemble where each member participates and contributes equally to the repertoire and improvisations with a colourful approach and powerful sound. Expect melodic themes and unisons, catchy rhythms and grooves, Jazz and also cooking swing at some point. You don't want to miss this very special setting!

Debut album Review: Trio

Review of my debut cd Trio in Spanish: http://jazzrecordings.blogspot.com/2012/11/eva-novoa-eva-novoa-trio.html

Crítica de mi debut Trio:

"La música que se aprecia a lo largo de todo el compacto nos denota a una artista altamente heterogénea, o mejor dicho, a una arquitecta sonora de amplio espectro musical. Eva Novoa exhibe con sus composiciones la ascendencia por las formas más tradicionales tanto a nivel de formación (trío clásico de piano, contrabajo y batería) como sonoras, pero así mismo nos muestra una exuberante y rica creatividad vanguardista. Es ese balance entre el lenguaje de la improvisación apoyado en una sonoridad abierta y expansiva, y las formas más clásicas de la formación, lo que concede al presente trabajo una enorme riqueza musical, que deriva en momentos de placidez y reposo emocional con otros en donde predomina una amplia paleta sonora y elementos de la libre improvisación que son aportados por todos los componentes de la formación. (...)

La propuesta de Eva Novoa extrae lo mejor del lenguaje de la tradición jazzística para aunar y amalgamar junto a los elementos provenientes de la sonoridad vanguardista, para así proporcionar un proyecto en donde se huyen de estereotipos y etiquetas convencionales. La música de Eva Nova es una música sin fronteras, abierta al tiempo y donde tan sólo importa la aportación sonora y musical de los intérpretes. Todo un reto musical que bien vale la pena su escucha."
