Review: The new disc from Lopez-Nussa is a forceful statement from a Cuban musician leading his tight-knit Cuban band, & influenced by music from both countries in ways that transcend narrow notions of “Latin jazz.” The album nods to classic Cuban composers and musicians but it focuses mostly on pianist López-Nussa’s original compositions and his distinctive trio concept.
