Emilio Teubal Trio - Memorias de Otro Tiempo (2018)


"When someone asks you what will be considered the classic albums of this modern jazz age in fifty years time, you should point to this recording (Musica para un Dragon Dormido) as one of them. As near to perfection as you can get” — David Sumer- Bird is the Worn

“In fact it is very possible that Emilio Teubal may have emerged as one of the most outstanding musicians from Argentina, with this record that will surely mark him as one of the deepest thinkers as well as one of the most “Painterly” pianists in modern music” — Raul Da Gama. LatinJazz Network


NY based Argentine Pianist and Composer Emilio Teubal 4th album as a band leader “Memorias de Otro Tiempo” (memories from another time). After three critically acclaimed records featuring large ensembles with a strong emphasis on improvisation, Emilio’s latest project is a small chamber group consisting on piano, spanish guitar and clarinet. The music, written especially for this ensemble, draws from a wide variety of musical styles that are part of his cultural background: Latin-American Folk music, Tango music, Jazz, Free improvisation, Classical music and some hints of Middle Eastern music. The Emilio Teubal trio features fellow Argentine musicians Ivan Barenboim on clarinets, Federico Diaz on guitar and Emilio Teubal on piano and compositions

"The core of this new record is a fourth movement suite called "Memorias de Otro tiempo" that later turned into the title of the album. This suite was composed between mid-2015 and 2016, and is the result of the emotional turmoil that meant loosing my mother while being far away from my home country, and "far away" temporarily from the moment I left Argentina almost 20 years ago".
