Search - Jose Duque's ZUMBATRES :: Far Away

Under the concept of blending borders and crossing boundaries, Jose Duque's ZumbaTres is back with a new album, where their subtle combination of French Impressionism and the rhythmic flare of South American Culture takes a sharper turn. Rooting the music in the essence of jazz, the new album, led by Venezuelan born drummer, Jose Duque, offers an invigorating new sound that blends odd meter time signatures with their Latin influenced rhythms. Offering 7 new compositions, Far Away also features 3 bonus tracks recorded live at the Press Room in the Spring of 2006. Far Away represents all those things we hold dear, homeland, friends, family, favorite places, cities, poems and lost love. Since their last CD in 2002, ZumbaTres has reformed to include the most sought after musicians on the seacoast; Dan Sure on piano, Nate Therrien on bass, Phil Sargent on guitar and a special guest appearance by Annegret Baier on percussion. The synergy of the band was inspirational in creating new tunes and for the more organic, fluid sound to their music. Jose Duque's ZumbaTres, has been nominated twice for the Spotlight Awards(Portsmouth Herald) in the jazz category. The band has performed in numerous venues around the seacoast and New England, has been featured in February 2006 edition of the nationally distributed drum magazine Modern Drummer and received acclaimed jazz reviews in Miami, and Latin American jazz circles.
