Hailing from Havana, Cuba, prodigious composer and
virtuosic pianist Harold López-Nussa is rapidly becoming a household name in
jazz with a feverous global following.
With fellow artists Mayquel González, Luques Curtis and
Ruy Adrían López-Nussa, Harold's tight-knit quartet captivates audiences with a
relentless vivaciousness that "bridges generations and genres"
according to Billboard Magazine. His music reflects the full range and richness
of Cuban music, with its distinctive combination of classical, folkloric and
popular elements, as well as its embrace of jazz improvisation.
Within two days of release, Harolds new album Un Día
Cualquiera was The Most Added on Jazz and College Radio in the United States.
In the past year alone, Harold has performed for sold-out audiences at the
Kennedy Center and SFJAZZ, along with the best jazz festivals in the world:
Newport, North Sea, Monterey and Detroit.
López-Nussas single-note grace is akin to Herbie
Hancocks, and his two-fisted attacks are as joyous as Chick Coreas! Downbeat
Magazine
"Nussa is a genius in the manner in which he pulls together
