Jazz Artist Pablo Suñé Releases Debut Album Luz del Estero

American jazz, contemporary Argentine tango, and strings combine on this sophisticated debut album

17 October 2017 - Luz del Estero, the debut album by Argentine-American Pablo Suñé is an evocative fusion of American jazz, classical and modern Argentine tango and strings.  Full of style and imagination, Suñé’s voice in Spanish combines with elegant strings and guitar, which he plays with characteristic verve and flair.  After many years playing straight jazz, the album sees Suñé exploring his own story, and drawing on influences from Argentina and Brazil as well as North America.

The foundation for the album is the collaboration between Suñé and his jazz trio, which includes bassist Putter Smith and drummer Ramón Banda. The trio honed their sound in many of Los Angeles' top jazz venues.  Suñé decided to add strings to the mix and traveled to Budapest, Hungary to record with The Budapest String Quintet at the Budapest Music Center. The resulting sound is redolent and soothing, but also flamboyant at times. Says Suñé, “Who I am­–my life and background–is in this music. It is personal and intimate. I also hope other people will get to know themselves better by listening to it.”

The album opens with Uno es Nadie Otro es Nada and Luz del Estero, both written and performed by Suñé. Next come two instrumental tracks, Libertango and Fuga y Misterio, by legendary tango composer Astor Piazzolla. What is This Thrill? is a previously unreleased track composed and arranged by Grammy-award-winning jazz legend Alan Copeland. Listeners are also treated to a new arrangement by Copeland of the nostalgic Alas de la Mañana, a song written by influential singer-songwriter and guitarist Luis Alberto Spinetta.  Every track is markedly different from the next, and all are outstanding.

Sid Jacobs called Suñé, “A brilliant young musician. His talent, technique and his innate creativity are all evident in his musical contributions.” Born in Argentina, Suñé began playing guitar in Buenos Aires before emigrating to the US in 2002. He based himself in Los Angeles, where he now performs with his jazz trio as well as working on arrangements for orchestras for both films and television. As the founder of the Dinjes Music Therapy Center, he works with people with developmental disabilities, enabling them to improve their lives through music.

Luz del Estero is produced by Pablo Suñé and released on Suñé’s label Dinjes Inc. The album is available on CD and digital (Amazon / Spotify / iTunes).
