Es: sensual presents a continuation of Cuban

pianist-composer-bandleader Omar Sosa's

collaboration with Hamburg's NDR Bigband and

acclaimed Brazilian cellist-composer-arranger

Jaques Morelenbaum, whose inaugural effort

can be heard on the ECHO Jazz awarded Omar

Sosa-NDR Bigband CD 'Ceremony' (OTA1021).

Recorded at NDR's Hamburg studios, Es: sensual

features Morelenbaum's vivid arrangements of

selections from a number of Omar Sosa CDs,

including 'Free Roots','Mulatos', 'Promise',

'Across The Divide', 'Eggun' and 'Ile"

a veritable best of Omar Sosa!

Rooted in Afro-Cuban spiritual and percussive

traditions, and intimately versed in a range of

contemporary world musics, Omar's finely textured

compositions present Morelenbaum with

the foundation to summon forth a sweeping

palette of sounds, inspiring the NDR Bigband´s

brilliant soloists.
