Aperio launches its 2021-2022 concert season at MATCH with HAVANA JAZZ featuring the Harold López-Nussa Quartet and Ernesto Vega, clarinet. Hailing from Havana, Cuba, prodigious composer and virtuosic pianist Harold López-Nussa’s music reflects the full range and richness of Cuban music, with its distinctive combination of classical, folkloric and popular elements, as well as its embrace of jazz improvisation. López-Nussa has performed for sold-out audiences at the Kennedy Center and SFJAZZ, with additional performances at some of the most prestigious jazz festivals in the world including Newport, North Sea, Monterey and Detroit.
Also a native of Cuba, now residing in Houston, clarinetist Ernesto Vega, has been a celebrated soloist, collaborator, composer, arranger, and bandleader for over two decades. He has performed alongside many Cuban legends such as Frank Emilio, Chucho Valdés, Bobby Carcasses, Jorge Reyes, and Changuito in addition to performing with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis. His versatility and virtuosity make him one of the leading musicians of his generation and one of the finest living clarinetists from the Island of Cuba.
Together Harold López-Nussa and Ernesto Vega were nominated for ‘Best Live Recording Performance’ at the Cubadisco awards in 2012. Aperio’s program brings these two singular artists together backed with the prodigious talents of López-Nussa’s band for a one-night only performance you won’t soon forget.
