Melissa Aldana

• DIGIPACK EDITION

Visions is Aldana's first recording of its kind: with a larger band and a more conceptual in approach, refracting her art through her view of painter Frido Kahlo, who shares Aldana's heritage as a Latina and her position as a woman in a male-dominated art world. It's also Aldana's most subtle and wonderful recording, using four brilliant young musicians (all men, if you're keeping score) to round her music: rising star Joel Ross on vibes, Sam Harris on piano, bassist Pablo Menares, and drummer Tommy Crane. She composed all the tunes but two.
