Title - 'Quatro'
Artist - John Finbury
For those not in the know, John Finbury’s new album Quatro (out June 1st, 2020) premieres new music with broad Latin American and Spanish influences, mixed and matched in an unorthodox fashion.
Alternating vocal and instrumental tracks, the album was produced by Latin Grammy winner Emilio D. Miler, and features Magos Herrera on vocals, Chano Domínguez on piano, John Patitucci on bass, and Antonio Sánchez on drums.

This visceral, emotional, and heartfelt new album opens with the impassioned and sultry 'Llegará El Día,' which is followed by both the lucid piano work found on 'Independence Day' and then the mercurial 'La Madre De Todos Los Errores.'
Next up is one of my own personal favorites, the English-vocalized 'All The Way To The End,' which in turn is followed by the earthy, upright bass-led 'Comenzar.'
This attractively passionate album then rounds out with the elegant, free flowing piano work of 'Salón Jardín,' coming to a close with the drum led, funky grooves of 'Romp.'
Recorded over two sessions in New York in 2019, Quatro is both a celebration of cultural diversity and immigration, and a condemnation of those who seek restriction based upon prejudice.
Though written and recorded before the world was stunned by a pandemic that has hindered our ability to gather and celebrate, Quatro presents a musical meeting place that strives to bridge that distance, and convey the certainty that we are better together.
