FEATURING CÉCILE MCLORIN SALVANT & VINCENT HERRING
Always innovative, always keeping his unique western Cuban heritage intact and always releasing well-received albums. That said, pianist Elio’s latest is perhaps his best-to-date!
For his first ArtistShare recording, a cooperative label founded by Maria Schneider for the benefit of musicians and not the label, Villafranca recruited some heavyweights as his guests, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Freddie Hendrix, Vincent Herring and others. Crossroads in Cuba-“cuatro caminos” is much more than choosing a path to travel, it’s the point of convergence where one must make a crucial decision about which spirituality to follow.
This 2-disc set takes the listener on a journey through Elio’s life journey from his homeland of the tobacco country of Cuba to New York, learning a new language and playing with new found musicians and friends including several of his compatriots who also fled Cuba in search of new horizons.
