Produced by Quincy Jones, Alfredo Rodriguez
Arranged by Alfredo Rodriguez
Editor's Pick:
“Mack Avenue seems to have the market cornered on impressive debut releases with Alfredo Rodriguez as one of the most impressive debuts since Gonzalo Rubalcaba's 1987 debut Concierto Negro. Artistic credibility is a virtual lock with the release Sounds of Space having been co-produced by the legendary Quincy Jones…The virtuoso talent of Rodriguez is literally off the charts. At certain points there is a distinct feel of a piano duet performed on solo piano. There is an incredibly organic quality to Sounds Of Space which is maintained consistently despite a marvelous textured appeal of melody and lyrical development. Artistically gifted and a technical wizard finds Alfredo Rodriguez as the future of modern jazz whose musical stock is an arrow pointing straight up. Being a critic is far more than taking a critical approach, it is about being a jazz advocate. Look under every possible rock and you would be hard pressed to find fault in this virtually flawless recording.” Brent Black, Criticaljazz.com (DR, 2012-04-15)
