Virelles David - Igbo Alakorin (The Singer's Grove) Vol.

Facts Igbó Aláko?rin (a phrase in Yoruba which can be loosely translated as The Singer's Grove) is the realization of pianist David Virelles's long-held dream to document the under-sung musicians of his birthplace, Santiago de Cuba. Virelles, who was named the #1 Rising Jazz Pianist in the 2017 Downbeat Critics Poll, is one of the most in-demand pianists on the contemporary jazz scene, recording with the likes of Henry Threadgill, Chris Potter, and Tomasz Stanko. He also has four prior releases under his own name, including Continuum, which topped the New York Times best album list for 2012.
