KCC Productions presents Felipe Lamoglia's IRESOUNDS

KCC Productions and the Van Dyke Cafe present the Felipe Lamoglia Ensemble, Thursday, September 15, at 9 PM.  Felipe will be premiering his new project, "IRESOUNDS", a mix of his Afro-Cuban roots, Latin jazz, and contemporary jazz. Featured personnel are Felipe Lamoglia, sax, EWI, Cisco Damas, trumpet, Kemuel Roig, piano, Reinier Guerra, drums, Luis Diaz, percussion, and Nestor Del Prado, bass, with special guest Dante Luciani, trombone (Professor of Jazz Studies, Frost School of Music, University of Miami). They have a superb brass section and a rhythm section of exceptional young Cuban musicians. Their music and arrangements are entirely Felipe’s, done with the flavor of the tunes he wrote for Arturo Sandoval’s Grammy-winning “Rumba Palace .”

Lamoglia began playing with Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval in 2001, performing all over the world and recording on “Trumpet Evolution”, as well as two DVD releases: “Live at the Blue Note NYC” and “Live at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival”. In 2004 he joined Grammy winner Gonzalo Rubalcaba, recording on his Grammy-nominated album, “Paseo” (Blue Note).  In 2006 Lamoglia arranged and played on Ignacio Berroa’s debut album “Codes”, also released on Blue Note and nominated for a Grammy.  In 2007 Felipe contributed as arranger, performer, and composer for “Rumba Palace.”

Felipe has shared the stage with musical giants such as Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Wynton Marsalis, Eldar, Dafnis Prieto, Ignacio Berroa and many others, participating in Major Jazz Festivals in the U.S. and abroad including JVC, Playboy, Newport, Heineken Jazz, and Red Sea, and in venues such as Blue Note, Iridium, Jazz Standard, Yoshi's, Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola and many more.

The Van Dyke is located at 846 Lincoln Road, South Beach. For more information, call 305-534-3600, visit thevandykecafe.com, or contact KCC Productions.

KCC Productions presents Silvano Monasterios and the Fourth World Ensemble

Fusion of Latin Rhythms, World Music and Pure Jazz at NYC’s New Zinc Bar

Thursday, September 29

(Miami, August 7, 2011) --- Silvano Monasterios and the Fourth World Ensemble perform in the release of their latest Savant CD, “Unconditional,” at New Zinc Bar, 82 West 3^rd Street (between Thompson and Sullivan) in New York City on Thursday, September 29 at 9:30 PM.   

Voted "Best Jazz Musician in Miami” (2009) by Miami New Times, Venezuelan pianist-composer Silvano Monasterios leads the way as a top-rated figure. From the shortest phrase to the longest, though the language of jazz is obvious, his own sound and style has been, and will ever be, refreshing.

The Fourth World Ensemble, emerging in 2007 from Monasterios' desire to experiment with the fusion of Latin Rhythms, World Music and Pure Jazz, features Monasterios on piano, accompanied by percussion, drums, bass and saxophone.  The ensemble performs all original music composed and arranged by Silvano.

Exhibiting an insatiable appetite for challenge and change, Silvano brought his new quintet into the Savant studios and recorded eight new and innovative compositions. 

"Unconditional" has already risen into the top 40 CD's in the national charts for airplay. Featuring an assortment of indigenous percussion instruments and rhythms, the Ensemble’s latest work is most likely destined to be classified as “Latin Jazz,” yet it is totally devoid of the Latin clichés often encountered in “pseudo-Latin” jazz.  Instead, it showcases the talents of an artist with a deep understanding of his complex Venezuelan roots combined with an Austrian-Germanic-European compositional heritage, and who, at the same time, is steeped in the great American jazz tradition.
