Chucho Valdes - New Conceptions (2003) [Irakere] torrent

Chucho Valdés, Cuban pianist and co-founder of Irakere, has a remarkable facility as a soloist, accompanist and writer, and what's even more amazing is that he routinely delivers these fantastic statements while playing some of the world's most rhythmically intricate music.

“New Conceptions” (2003) takes the listener on another exciting excursion through a host of genres, among them traditional Cuban forms, straight-ahead jazz, even classically influenced material.

By at once respecting and defying musical tradition, Valdés has crafted one of the most accomplished and invigorating albums of his career.
