The celebrated Cuban-Canadian composer and piano-master Hilario Duran leads his nineteen-piece ensemble featuring special guests Paquito D’Rivera and Horacio ‘El Negro’ Hernandez in a stellar big band recording – the first in 17 years. Hilario Duran brings the full scope of his artistry, the depth of knowledge of musical genres in the perfect storm of big artistry on Cry Me A River. The nine works on this recording are born of Durán’s Afro-Caribbean cultural topography but are also informed by his gifts for bending tradition and infusing his arrangements with unfettered improvisation. Through the course of the album the Grammy-nominated and Juno Award-winning Duran actively throws overboard melodic, harmonic, and structural hooks that have become expressively blunted through overuse, building big band charts that bloom in colour and texture and atmospheric beauty.
