REVIEWS:

“With his latest effort, Argentine pianist/composer Pablo Ablanedo pronounces a sense of joy. In the liners, the artist emphasizes that this work “alludes to the happiness of creation.” To that end, Ablanedo and his octet disseminate a set of emotive musings via a Spanish-tinged luster combined with polychordal horn charts and more.“ (4 ½ stars) Glenn Astarita, DownBeat Magazine (US)

“One of our most inventive young jazz composers and one of the most innovative contemporary ensembles. It’s music you need to know.” (5 Stars) Lee Prosser, Jazzreview

“Alegría has cemented Pablo Ablanedo’s reputation as an innovative and yet disciplined composer who promises even more noteworthy work in the future." Bill Donaldson, Cadence Magazine (US)

“Most of it is magnificent and will stand the test of time.” (4 Stars) (JazzWise) (UK)
