"With his latest effort, Argentine pianist/composer Pablo Ablanedo pronounces a sense of joy. In the liners the artist emphasizes that this work "alludes to the happiness of creation." To that end, Ablanedo and his octet disseminate a set of emotive musings via a Spanishtinged luster combined with polychordal horn charts and more." (4 ½ stars)
Glenn Astarita, Down Beat Magazine (US)
"Argentine composer Pablo Ablanedo makes a disarmingly gentle but firm debut notable more for his ascetic, introspective writing than his low-profile piano. This band plays the through-composed and chamber-like pieces understatedly rather than in-your-face, slowly unfolding a mature, inclusive world vision." (4 stars)
Fred Bouchard, Down Beat Magazine (US)
"...be sure that Pablo Ablanedo's work has its own personality: you will be pleased to listen and listen to From Down There.”
Claude Colpaert, Jazz Hot Magazine (France)
"It would be a mistake to pigeonhole the pianist/composer Pablo Ablanedo as a "Latin jazz artist”: the lush, complex weave of his writing for octet on the new Alegría (Fresh Sounds) has as much to do with Gil Evans as with the tangos of Ablanedo's fellow Argentine, Astor Piazzolla."
Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix (US)
10:00 PM Michael Feinberg/Daniel Platzman group
Bassist Michael Feinberg and drummer Daniel Platzman have become a major force on the new york jazz scene. Since moving to New York in June 2009 the duo has shared the stage with the likes of Ted Nash, Jonathan Kreisberg, Ambrose Akinmusire, Noah Preminger, and Greg Gisbert among others. And as individuals they have performed with many other artists including George Garzone and McCoy Tyner. Critics have said of Feinberg's most recent cd "Evil Genius" (fearturing Platzman, Alex Wintz, Steve Pardo, Brian Hogans, and Sam Barsh) ". . .[evil genius] embraces elements of both pop music and the avant-garde with a strong
flare for jazz music. . . of the here and now" - Chad Radford, Creative Loafing.
This will be the first concert the group will perform after their showcase in Austin, Tx as part of the South by Southwest Festival, and it is definately one not to be missed. The rest of the group will be rounded out by some of the top jazz musicians in Boston. For more info. please visit www.michaelfeinbergmusic.com
