Diego Barber & Hugo Cipres — 411 (Origin Records 2013)
411 is new music created by old friends from seemingly disparate
musical worlds. From the Canary Islands, Barber moved on to New York
City where his mix of stellar classical guitar technique with modern
jazz sensibilities has been making waves for several years. Electronic
music composer Hugo Cipres remains in Lanzarote, traveling throughout
Europe as a DJ, but a DJ strongly influenced by classical and jazz
greats. On 411, they create a dynamic hybrid, mixing Barber's
sweeping eclecticism with modern European electronica and New York's
finest acoustic improvisors - saxophonist Seamus Blake, drummer Ari
Hoenig, and bassist Johannes Weidenmueller. Origin Records
