Dafnis Prieto - 3 Sides of the Coin (CD)

Details: 25 years after his arrival in New York, the GRAMMY-winning and Latin GRAMMY-nominated drummer, composer, and MacArthur Fellow Dafnis Prieto has utterly shifted the sonic landscape of the jazz and creative music scene. With Prieto's appearance on the NYC jazz scene likened to "an asteroid hitting the city" (The New York Times), and a reputation that rightfully lauds him as "one of the most multidimensional artists working today" (JazzTimes), the Cuban drummer is poised to strike once again with his upcoming 10th album, 3 Sides of the Coin. This album marks the studio return of Prieto's acclaimed Sí o Sí ("Yes or Yes") Quartet, a rightfully jubilant cohort comprising Peter Apfelbaum on woodwinds, Martin Bejerano on piano, and Ricky Rodríguez on electric bass, brought together to commemorate both the bandleader's quarter century in New York and his 50th birthday.
