about

Tenor saxophonist Diego Rivera connects all the dots with a wide pallet of colors on his aptly entitled new release "Connections." The album's exciting musical program features brilliant original compositions and amazing arrangements of contemporary classics spread over a wide oeuvre of jazz styles. Rivera bristles with energized enthusiasm as he confidently demonstrates his stunning melodic command over his instrument. The bandleader is supported on the recording by an amazing collection of musicians, including trombonist extraordinaire Michael Dease, trumpet genius Joe Magnarelli, award-winning saxophonist Lauren Sevian, rookie sax man Markus Howell, talented newcomers Jocelyn Gould on guitar, pianist Luther Allison, and bassist Endea Owens, as well as the ever amazing Jason Tiemann on drums. “Connections” clearly announces Rivera as an important new voice that deserves attention. We are excited for our listeners to discover the joyous and wonderful performances that demonstrate the breadth and depth of Rivera’s amazing musical "Connections."

Dizzy Atmosphere

This is a wonderful album! Dave Douglas is one of my heroes. He's more than a great musician. He has a vision for the music and a feeling for putting together a group which is unique. So, beside Joey Baron (another heavyweight and one of my absolute favourite drummers) he invited some young cats to this session. They play just great and make sure that this music sounds totally fresh, whilst at the same time being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. Florian Arbenz

So much fun and joy and swing, and the instrumentation allows for some super-fresh sounds as well as some old-timey goodness. And simply great tunes too! Giles
