Praise flows for Brazilian guitarist Diego Figueiredo. Jazz critic Scott Yanow says, “Diego has the rare ability of making everything sound beautiful.” George Benson hails Figueiredo as one of the greatest guitarists he\u2019s ever seen.\u00a0Guitar World Magazine<\/em>\u00a0raves about his live performances, describing them as effortlessly sublime and utterly fabulous.<\/p>\n

Figueiredo lives in, with and for music. Born in 1980 in Franca in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, he began playing music at 4 years old. By 12, he had already attracted a local following, and at 15, he was drawing huge crowds around Brazil. Figueiredo has recorded over two dozen albums and is the winner of several competitions, including the Montreux Jazz Guitar Competition and Brazil\u2019s Visa Prize.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cuban-born pianist and composer Harold L\u1f79pez-Nussa\u2019s Blue Note Records<\/em> debut of\u00a0Timba a la Americana<\/em>, an album released in August 2023, teems with joy and pathos that was inspired by the pianist\u2019s recent decision to leave his Cuban homeland. Produced by Snarky Puppy bandleader Michael League,\u00a0Timba a la Americana<\/em>\u00a0unveils a new sound performed by a tight-knit band featuring harmonica virtuoso Gr\u00e9goire Maret, Luques Curtis on bass, B\u00e1rbaro “Machito” Crespo on congas and L\u1f79pez-Nussa\u2019s brother, Ruy Adri\u00e1n L\u00f3pez-Nussa, on drums.<\/p>\n

L\u1f79pez-Nussa traces the origins of\u00a0Timba a la Americana<\/em>\u00a0to a day during his family\u2019s first winter after leaving Cuba to live in Toulouse, France. He found himself flipping through voice memos on his phone, listening to jams and fragments of song ideas he\u2019d documented years before. These seedlings of songs transported him back to the rhythmic communication that was part of his everyday life in Cuba.<\/p>\n

The 45th\u00a0annual festival will return <\/strong>June 20 \u0336 22, 2024 <\/strong>at Playhouse Square in Cleveland.<\/strong> For a full line-up visit https:\/\/www.tri-c.edu\/jazzfest\/<\/p>\n
