About Me

Check out our new album "Motion"... "an impressive debut which features his excellent quintet, as well as such guests as Mark Turner, Celso Machado and Virelles father, José Aquiles. The recording is the result of having won the Grand Prize at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal in 2006"."David Virelles is not only a pianist with dauntingly developed chops, he’s a composer of compelling but thoughtful music. The tracks on Motion display a range of expressiveness that do far more established musicians proud. "Lo Más Sublime", for instance, has an impelling forward motion without the usual oh-so-serious ostinatos that his contemporaries seem to feel obliged to use to get the same effect. Couple his challenging chord structure with guest tenor saxist Mark Turner’s lyrical, muscular solo and you’ve got but one example of why this CD rewards repeated listenings."Get our album in itunes - CLICK THE IMAGE:
