Harold Lopez-Nussa - Fiery Cuban Jazz

Harold Lopez-Nussa – Fiery Cuban Jazz

Harold López-Nussa’s Trio comes to Baur’s Listening Lounge for a special night of fiery Cuban jazz Sunday, October 23rd, at 7:00 p.m. Cuban pianist and composer Harold López-Nussa’s debut album seems to sway gently like a boat– as if readying for voyage or returning to port – with trumpets and voices whispering memories. This scene aptly describes López-Nussa’s experiences of traveling throughout the world, yet always finding his way back to his hometown of Havana, Cuba.

With his last album, “New Day,” the rising star refines his style and adds color to his artistic palette, asserting himself as a stylish composer whose technical abilities are matched only by his powerful playing. López-Nussa is currently touring as a superlative trio comprised of himself on piano and keyboard, his younger brother the phenomenal drummer and percussionist Ruy Adrián López-Nussa, and Senegalese vocalist and bass virtuoso Alune Wade. Combining astonishing gifts and dazzling technique spanning the jazz continuum, the Harold López-Nussa Trio brings an abundance of soul.

This world-class concert is brought to Baur’s by Music Appreciation Society. Baur’s is located at 1512 Curtis Street in downtown Denver. Patrons may enjoy dinner in Baur’s classic vintage dining room before the show.
