"The music is rhythmically and sometimes structurally complex; it's always melodically satisfying." — The Arts Fuse

"The considerable degree of balance and integration of melody, harmony and rhythm, of composition and improvisation, of exploration, individuality and tradition is impressively maintained throughout this seductively beckoning recital." — LatinJazzNet

Some twenty years ago, Pablo Ablanedo led an octet of New York musicians that is absolutely remarkable in retrospect. Every musician in this band would go on to stellar international careers: Anat Cohen, Jenny Scheinman, Chris Cheek, Jerome Sabbagh, Ben Monder, Fernando Huergo, and Franco Pinna, with Diego Urcola arriving on trumpet.

This same band has reunited from all corners of the world to play through new works of Pablo's once again. It speaks to the strength of the band's belief in Pablo's sound that this record came together at all. Pablo has never stopped creating or evolving his sound.

Featuring Pablo Ablanedo on piano, Anat Cohen on clarinet, Jenny Scheinman on violin, Chris Cheek on tenor and soprano saxophone, Jerome Sabbagh on tenor and soprano saxophone, Diego Urcola on trumpet, Ben Monder on guitar, Fernando Huergo on electric bass, Franco Pinna on drums, and Daniel Ian Smith on additional saxophones on "Karmavaleando" and "Bipolarious."
