Holman Álvarez - Hidden Objects (2024) [FLAC 24bit/88,2kHz] Download

Pianist/composer Holman Alvarez sees the world through a compositional lens. On his newest release, Hidden Objects, he leads an all-star band—which includes trumpeter Adam O’Farrill, bassist Drew Gress, and drummer Satoshi Takeishi—through nine expressive, serpentine compositions that reveal a unique musical worldview. In his playing, there is a touching lyricism and forward-thinking harmony, mixing warmth with the cerebral. And there are references to the Latin American rhythms and modern classical figures that are an innate part of Alvarez’s compositional and improvisational vocabulary. Beyond musical touchstones, though, it’s evident that there is a much more grand, big-picture artistic vision at work.One day in 2022, Alvarez realized everything in his life had changed. “I like to restart,” he says. “I like to think of things in a new way, to wake up and say, ‘What is reality for me today?’ Because it’s always different and changes depending on where you are at that moment in your life.” At this point, Alvarez had just moved from Bogotá, Colombia—where he was an assistant professor at Universidad Javeriana, as well an important part of a thriving creative music—to New York. Love drew him to the city, and he arrived with no musical connections, unable to speak English. Alvarez needed to re-form his musical life.
