Aruán Ortiz Trio on tour with "Hidden Voices"

His new Intakt recording Hidden Voices, featuring Ortiz with bassist Eric Revis and drummer Gerald Cleaver, has earned wide critical praise.   "Aruán Ortiz weaves multiple strands of tradition through his music, with an endgame of deep mystification. A pianist originally from Cuba, he has been a creative force at least since the release of his debut album 20 years ago. But he's moving into a new tier withHidden Voices. An imposingly assured album informed both by folkloric Afro-Cuban custom and the postwar jazz avant-garde, it officially introduces his lean, watchful trio with Eric Revis on bass and Gerald Cleaver on drums." – Nate Chinen, NY Times 4 stars. "How to critique this dance in and out of abstraction? Viscerally, that's how. After all, Ortiz gives us plenty to savor... Hidden Voices testifies to Ortiz's eloquence and originality." –  Bob Doerschuk, DownBeat Aruan Ortiz Trio “Hidden Voices” EPK 2016 https://vimeo.com/155340448 Aruán's Upcoming Performances!    - Saturday, April 9 - Aruán Ortiz with Amir ElSaffar's Rivers of Sound Large Ensemble - Kimmel Center of Performing Arts - Philadelphia, PA              - Friday, April 15 - Aruán Ortiz with Amir ElSaffar's Rivers of Sound Large Ensemble - The Cleveland Museum of Art  - Cleveland, OH           - Saturday, April 30 - Aruán Ortiz with Amir ElSaffar's Rivers of Sound Large Ensemble - New York University Abu Dhabi - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates                 - Saturday, May 14 - Aruán Ortiz with Ingrid Laubrock, Mark Helias and Tom Rainey - Cornelia Street Cafe - NYC  - Friday, May 20 - Grete Skarpeid's CD "My songs" release concert featuring Aruán Ortiz  - Ole Bull Akademiet - Voss, Norway                   - Wednesday, May 25 - Adam Rudolph Trio featuring Graham Haynes & Aruán Ortiz- The Stone, NYC  - Thursday, May 26 - Fay Victor feat: Marty Ehrlich & Aruán Ortiz - 55 Bar, NYC - Thursday, June 30 - Nasheet Waits Equality Quartet feat: Mark Helias, Darius Jones & Aruán Ortiz - Ljubljana Jazz Festival, Slovenja  - Saturday, July 9 - Aruán Ortiz Trio "Hidden Voices"  - North Sea Jazz Festival -Rotterdam, Netherlands              - Friday, August  12 - Aruán Ortiz Trio "Hidden Voices" - SF Jazz Center, San Francisco, CA            Now we enjoy this video of Aruan Ortiz Trio:
