César Orozco & Kamarata Jazz - Rooted Forward (2020)

Rooted Forward is the fourth album from César Orozco and Kamarata Jazz. A pianist, composer, arranger, and educator (who just so happens to be a classically trained violinist, too!), Orozco has always celebrated the rich musical traditions of Cuba and Venezuela, the two places that most greatly informed his musical education and upbringing. This continues to honor those musical legacies but also branches out into some new directions too. Read this review here.~By Jim Hynes, Making A Scene!
