HERNAN ROMERO Band

Guitarist/Composer/Producer/Band Leader

Argentina/Spain

BIOGRAPHY

One of the greatest guitarists of international jazz that has imbued classical jazz and latin with gypsy flamenco, the musical traditions of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. A close collaborator of Al Di Meola for many years, he transforms flamenco’s passion to absolute jazz enjoyment

Spiced with the exotic traditions that infuse flamenco-gypsy, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean folk interwoven with textures of classical, jazz, and Latin rhythms, composer and guitarist Hernan Romero's music is both sophisticated and accessible. It is sensuous, passionate, romantic and inescapably infectious. 
Inspired by the music of his family from his earliest memory, Romero became part of their performing ensemble by the age of four. Romero's mother, popular International singer Estela Raval, contributed to this by surrounding young Romero with the best of musical environments. Born in Argentina, Romero became strongly influenced by the Flamenco style when his family moved to Cadiz in Andalusia, Spain; receiving classical guitar training from Roberto Lara, one of Andres Segovia's disciples. In 1986 Romero moved to New York. While teaching classical guitar in the music program at Five Towns College in Long Island, Romero continued his education, receiving a Masters in Composition and Orchestration from the Manhattan School of Music. Playing in jazz clubs around town, Romero was soon working with some of world's finest guitarists, including Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin. In 1990, Romero produced and played on Di Meola Plays Piazzola, beginning a fertile association with Di Meola that resulted in nine other albums, including Orange and Blue (Rhino Records, 1994), and The Infinite Desire (Telarc, 1998). 
 Romero's compositions for Live at Trinity Church present intense and evocative music complimented by a lyrical style which is sure to influence aspiring guitarists for generations to come. The impassioned strains of Romero's virtuosity, both as a guitarist and composer, offer listeners a vibrant and exhilarating sound. 
Romero's Un Segundo Una Vida brought his flamenco and Latin-based jazz to new realms with the addition of more complex orchestration and additional instrumentation; including the melodic strings of a chamber orchestra, and a wide array of penetrating vocals. Romero's CD, Duende, hit number 6 on the Billboard charts (World Music). 
Now his latest CD 3 Caras de unaMoneda is a must have!!! The production features Grammy awarded Estela Raval (hernan's mother), AL DI MEOLA on the composition GUITANGO, and JERRY MAROTTA from Peter Gabriel's band and many more.

While Romero continues to captivate audiences in New York City clubs and on tour throughout the world his composing and performing skills as a collaborator remain in high demand.
PRESS

If Al DiMeola symbolized the electric/acoustic guitar�s major impact on the American public during his days with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White in the group called Return To Forever, then his long-time collaborator and producer Hernan Romero symbolizes its creative achievements among the Latin American and Spanish populations. With DUENDE, the world-class guitarist captivates and mesmerizes his listeners with fiery flamenco rhythms and the essence of the Spanish tango andaluz. Each rhythmic guitar phrase echoes a distinctive concept in modern flamenco music that literally welcomes you into its beautiful chord patterns. In addition to pleasing your sense of improvisation, Romero beckons you to enjoy the counterpoint of his vocals and that of the accompanying percussionists. Ten great songs express Romero�s exceptional talents but it is �Duende� that takes hold of you and doesn�t let go. This composition, with its energetic beat, rhythmic handclaps and chord variations tantalize the romantic senses onto another level. The set closes with his exciting flamenco mastery accompanied by a rhapsodic string section on �Concierto de Guitarra a un Viajero.� Here he shows his mastery of fiery flamenco chords and romantic world rhythms. DUENDE is artistically beautiful, sensual and contains the kind of songs that keep the romantic heart on fire! ‘Music Reviews’ Drawing from a multitude of musical influences to create a unique flamenco/ world music sound, guitarist and composer Hernan Romero astounds on this collection of instrumental and Spanish-language tracks. The Argentinean-born Romero, who recently recorded with Alicia Keys and saxophonist Chico Freeman, adds elements of jazz and classical music to the flamenco, Middle Eastern, Latin, and Mediterranean influences more readily apparent in his unique style. The 11 pristine recordings that comprise Un Segundo Una Vida include such standout tracks as "Otro Atardecer," on which the guitarist duets with himself, playing complementary and supportive guitar lines panned left and right; "La Vida Nueva," featuring Romero's mother, singer Estela Raval; "Puerto Esperanza," a classically tinged, high-energy performance; and the title track. With this much talent and technical ability, it's surprising that Romero isn't a household name, outside of admirers and collaborators like Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, and Freeman. Un Segundo Una Vida could change that.‘El Pays’

AVISHAI COHEN

Bassist/composer/Producer/

Artistic Director of the Red Sea Festival

Israel

BIOGRAPHY

Jazz is now moving into a great era. After many years of opposition between traditionalists and modern jazz proponents, fans are now discovering a new approach to the genre which gives priority to mixing, intermingling, swing and the pure pleasure of music.

Pleasure is certainly one of the driving forces behind the work of Avishai Cohen – that together with an insatiable desire to share his passion for jazz with his audiences. There have been too few musicians throughout the history of jazz who were able to create a direct bond between their instruments and the audience. But with his talent and energy Cohen is able to summon the perfect ambiance in a matter of seconds, moving listeners with just three notes and bring joy to the hearts of all who come to see him perform. Constantly raising artistic standards, he has been able to weave this solid but invisible link throughout his career. It is this link that touches the listener deeply and makes a jazz artist a star. The phenomenon that is Avishai Cohen now unites spirits well beyond the borders of jazz. Having moved outside any clearly defined categories, Avishai electrifies the audience at each performance. And now, already enjoying a well-deserved reputation as a gifted and imaginative composer and one of the best living bass players, Cohen reveals himself to be a talented singer as well.

Avishai Cohen was born in 1970 in Israel to a musical family. As a child he began learning piano, but switched to electric bass guitar after discovering the legendary Jaco Pastorius. When he set off from Tel Aviv to conquer the world after two years of service in the army band, New York was a logical first destination. But the young Israeli had a difficult first year, at times even working in construction to make ends meet. Then came the Latin bands. A child of the Middle East, already well acquainted with a typical rhythm sections, Cohen could soon be found playing alongside Panamanian artist Danilo Perez on the Latin borders of today’s jazz. It was around this time that he formed his first group, an orchestra with multiple influences that found an admirer in a certain Chick Corea, who soon offered him a record deal under his own label Stretch as well as the bass chair in his new group.

This would be the beginning of Corea’s sextet Origin – a rejuvenating new project for Corea and the best of training grounds for Cohen. This group took the young artist to the best stages around the world. During this period he acquired discipline, expertise and control and learned how to bond with an audience. He also sharpened his skills as a composer and gained an intimate rapport with melody. Avishai was soon in very high demand, accompanying artists such as, Bobby McFerrin, among many others, and performing with the London, Israel Philharmonic Orchestras and the Boston Pops Symphony.

After releasing four albums under his mentor’s label and acquiring international renown, Avishai decided to take the plunge and launch a solo career. Cohen created his own label during 2003 Razdaz Recordz and began exploring new directions that interested him. For seven years he has dedicated himself to forging his own path, never refusing an invitation to perform. Step by step, concert after concert, Avishai has succeeded in building a strong network and an intimate bond with his music and fans.

Avishai Cohen remains a composer above all. Over the years his exploration of his roots, his history and the blending of his influences has become deeper, denser and more moving. Returning to Tel Aviv, he surrounded himself with several choice associates. He now works closely with lifelong friends and young artists ready to go anywhere he will take them. Amos Hoffman’s oud, Itamar Doari’s creative percussion, Shai Maestro’s delicate touch and Karen Malka’s unique vocals create fertile soil for countless possibilities.

With the latest new album Aurora, his 11th release, Avishai Cohen has reached a certain essence of expression, using voice as a direct and powerful vehicle for his emotions. Singing – in Hebrew, English, Spanish and Ladino. The music draws its source in the earth of his home country, at the crossroads of many cultures. Arab-Andalusian and Hebraic, it tells the story of Bedouins of the desert and speaks of life, love, youth and freedom.
Jazz naturally remains at the heart of this original universe – the ideal meeting place for all kinds of encounters.. Aurora is a work of synergy under the Blue Note label, which for years seems to have been at the centre of all futures in jazz, of which Avishai Cohen is undeniably the most modern and irresistible standard-bearer.
