Ruben Lopez Furst-Jazz Argentino En La Universidad-CD

Ruben Lopez Furst --

Jazz Argentino/Jazz En La Universidad ...

NEW CD

A hip piano trio from the Argentine scene of the 60s -- led by pianist Ruben Lopez Furst, and coming across with a groove that's somewhere between the best of Bill Evans, and some of the better trio sounds of the European scene of the time! Ruben's got a touch on the keys that's always warmly melodic, and often nicely sensitive without being too gentle -- a mix that works well on the better groovers here, which almost remind us of some of the best Saba/MPS trio numbers from the 60s. The trio features Jorge Gonzalez on bass and Nestor Astarita on drums -- plus a bit of guest tenor from Ruben Barbieri and trumpet from Jorge Anders on a few tracks. The set features two full albums from the 60s, Jazz En La Universidad and Jazz Argentino -- and titles include "Los Viejos", "Israel", "Sometime Ago", "Cartas De Amor", "Stella By Starlight", "Un Poco Alegre", "Beautiful Love", and "I'll Need Another One".
