The Cubop City Big Band held world 20 years of success with their leader Lucas van Merwijk

20 Years Cubop City Big Band

The Cubop City Big Band

20 years of latin big band sounds

Cubop City Big Band was founded in 1995 by drummer Lucas van Merwijk and was named after the New York club ‘Cubop City’, the stage where during the fourties and fifties pioneers as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Machito, Mario Bauzá and Chano Pozo would mix Cuban music and Bebop into Cubop.

During the last two decades the band has captured the latin big band sound, performing and in many cases adapting the music of key figures such as Machito, Beny Moré, Arsenio Rodriguez, Tito Puente, Emilano Salvador and Grupo Afro Cuba.
Invited artists have included Edy Martinez, who heavily contributed with his arrangements, Armando Peraza, Alfredo 'Chocolate' Armenteros, Andy Gonzalez, Edmar Castañeda, Roberto Quintero, Luis Conte and Nelson Gonzalez.

On the occasion of their now 20 years existence the band is currently preparing a special anniversary project entitled:

Ayer Hoy Mañana (Yesterday Today Tomorrow)

Within this latin big band project the music of three important musical icons will be recorded and performed.
More details about the identities of these seemingly unalike musical forces will be revealed soon.

Dutch drummer Lucas van Merwijk

has been busy with various latin big band projects during the last months.
These projects included concerts in Los Angeles in coorperation with the CSULA at the Museum of Latin American Art and musical collaboration with the Dutch Royal Air Force big band playing the music of Beny Moré.
The Cubop City Big Band was the featured orchestra at the prestigious Dutch Kingdom Concert in the presence of King Willem Alexander.

Upcoming latin bigband projects include a coorperation with the jazz big band of the UHK Utrecht Conservatory and the Airforce big band of Finland.
Music will include arrangements from compositions by Emiliano Salvador, Chucho Valdez, Machito and the Uruguayan band Opa.
Dates:

25.01.15 Amsterdam Sugar factory Latin Night HKU Big band olv Ilja Reijngoud
31.01.15 Amsterdam Studio K Latin Night HKU Big band olv Ilja Reijngoud
7.01.15 Jyväskylä Finland Latin Night Finland Airforce Big Band

SALSA POWER

'With this tribute, Cubop has taken the big band sound to a new level and I'm wondering how they are going to top this.'

LATIN BEAT

'a must for Latin big band fanatics that, in my humble opinion, will have you dancing with joy.'

JOSE RICO

'Utilizing the expertise of the veteran arranger and pianist Eddy Martínez, who did the outstanding arrangements, Van Merwijk was able to capture that Latin big band sound and spirit. The band beautifully interprets tunes that were either composed or made famous by Moré, all Cuban standards. This CD swings from beginning to end.

SONNY BRAVO (New York arranger/ piano player for Tito Puente for many years

‘…as I'm listening, the track that almost knocked me off my chair was: "A Puerto Padre!" Wow! Kudos to Marc for taking it where no man has gone before, not even J.M. Ceruto! Great piano solo, too! A well deserved tip-of-the-hat to a great aggregation, which you have indeed done and done it very well!

I think the CD is terrific, incl. the charts, the "adaptations," and the solos!

MARTY SHELLER (legendary NY arranger)

'…a superb job. Terrific arrangements, excellent execution and wonderful musicianship

"Subrosa" is the hottest place in New York City: Latin Jazz and World Music

The renowned Blue Note Jazz site, and your organization, a new success noted in its business objective and supporting good music, and their passionate fans and followers.

The opening of "Subrosa" in the city of New York, has great significance for those who know how to appreciate and support the creative music, mixed, spectacular, cheerful, sticky, that is the Latin Jazz and World Music.

When you review the effects on people causing a live presentation of one of our great interpreters of our genre, maybe spend the best time of your life.

The scenario of "Subrosa" will be filled with lots of flavor and joy during this month by the presence for many days Pedrito Martinez Group, with its stream of good music and joy, Saturday 17 will be Pablo Mayor - Folklore Urbano: The Quintet and 27 of this month we will enjoy the Venezuelan Jazz Juancho Herrera.

Pablo Mayor - Folklore Urbano: The Quintet:

Modern Colombian music is redefined in fresh, lively, provocative dimensions every time Pablo Mayor -Folklore Urbano hits the stage. This powerhouse 12-member orchestra seamlessly fuses the danceable swing of traditional Colombian rhythms with the lush subtleties of contemporary jazz harmonies and unique arrangements. The ensemble is driven by a rhythm section deeply grounded in traditional Colombian music. Like a feisty chef, leader Pablo Mayor then adds explosive horns and soaring, colorful vocalists to produce a tasty, sultry, addictive blend!

Pablo Mayor -Folklore Urbano is the innovative project of Colombian bandleader, pianist, composer, and arranger Pablo Mayor . The group’s three highly-acclaimed CD’s, Aviso, Baile/Dance, and the latest Corazón, have been broadcast throughout the World.

Juancho Herrera:

Juancho Herrera started his musical journey with the influence of the Venezuelan music tradition. In 1990 he enrolled at Ars Nova School of Music in Caracas, Venezuela. While living in Venezuela he worked as a guitarist and vocalist for several bands including: Solazul (Latin Jazz) Caravana Theater Co., Sus 4 (Jazz-Rock) among others.

In 1993 Juancho traveled to the U.S. to continue his studies at Berklee College of Music, were he received a scholarship as a guitarist.

In 2000 Mr. Herrera relocated to NYC where he has been based until present day.
He has been an essential part of groups lead by some of today’s top artists in jazz and world music, such as Claudia Acuña(Jazz), Marta Gomez (Colombia), Lila Downs, (Grammy Award winner), and Sofia Rei (South American Jazz).

Mr. Herrera has also performed and recorded with world class artists such as Mercedes Sosa (Argentina), The Chieftains(Ireland), Branford Marsalis (Jazz), Nestor Torres (Grammy Award winner), Ryuichi Sakamoto (Japanese Icon), Alejandro Sanz (Multi-Grammy Award winner), Aquiles Báez (Paquito D’ Rivera), Joe Vasconcellos (Chile), Johnny Pacheco (Salsa Icon), Haydee Milanés (Cuban Pop), Jenny Sheinman Quartet (Avant-garde Jazz, Bill Frisell), Francisco Pacheco (Un Solo Pueblo), Zemog El Gallo Bueno (Mutant Salsa) among others.

Juancho has written music for short films, (Done by Oskar Landi 2009). His guitar work has been featured in several off Broadway plays and indie films such as the Indian piece, Vazhakku Enn 18/9.

In 2005 Juancho released his album Buscando, produced in collaboration with Fernando Aponte, (Ryuchi Sakamoto, Marisa Monte).

In 2011 he released his album Banda, featuring original compositions inspired by an urban, modern vision of Latin America deeply rooted in traditional sounds evoking those of Africa and the Americas. In addition to long-time collaborators Yayo Serka (Lila Downs) on drums and Ben Zwerin (Nouvelle Vague) on bass, Juancho recruits for this project some of the most innovative and dynamic artists of the New York Latin and Jazz scenes such as Claudia Acuña, Anat Cohen, Jason Lindner, Sofia Rei, Aquiles Baez, Sofia Tosello, and Samuel Torres, among others.

Here is Juancho live:

"The Latin Jazz is the music that God sent man to the world enjoy a special unique art, through his performers". Luis Raul Montell (www.jazz-caribe.org and www.jazzcaribe.blogspot.com).

Julie Lyon Quintet released tomorrow a whirlwind of bolero jazz with his CD "Julie"

The Julie Lyon Quintet is a swinging, dynamic jazz quartet performing the very best in jazz, standards, blues, swing and be-bop. The quartet brings new life to the old standards with fresh, signature arrangements performed in the classic style of greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughn.

Their music harkens back to the jazz era of the 30s, 40s and 50s but with modern interpretations and arrangements making them both timeless and innovative. They bring to each performance a great passion for their music guided by Julie’s soulful interpretation of the lyric and the irresistible groove laid down by the masterful rhythm section.

julie Lyon grew up with many and varied musical influences but from a very young age knew that she wanted to be a singer. She studied piano and voice from age 15 through college, earning a bachelor’s degree in vocal performance. Classically trained and reared on pop, rock and blues, the draw of the vocal jazz greats, Sarah Vaughan, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and many others, opened the door to a world in which Ms. Lyon is now at the top of her game. Initially fronting the premier jazz quartet in Orlando, Florida, Ms. Lyon and her drummer/husband/partner Tom Cabrera pulled up stakes, settled in the New York metropolitan area and assembled a quintet of remarkable musicians for their Unseen Rain Records release.

On “Julie”, whether it’s the robust swing of Dr. Lonnie Smith’s “Too Damn Hot” (lyrics by Julie Lyon), the deeply felt “Every Time We Say Goodbye” or the Parisian cafe as speakeasy atmosphere of Tom Wait’s “Temptation”, Julie’s voice is glorious and the band is in full flight.

The musicians: Matt Lavelle (trumpet, clarinet), Jack De Salvo (guitar), Bobby Brennan (double bass) and Tom Cabrera (drum).

Ms. Lyon’s composing, arranging, improvising and lyric writing emerge from her seemingly disparate influences. Her quartet/quintet is performing at jazz clubs, festivals and everywhere single malt scotch is available. Current and future projects include a duo release with pianist Bob Rodriguez and more recordings with her own ensemble.

In the video below we see Julie plays, live, "Dindi" the legendary Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and part of the new CD:
