Album Description

All compositions written by Nicolás Vera, except “Work” written by Thelonious Monk. Recorded on January 29th - 30th 2019, by Cristóbal Arriagada at CHT Studios, Santiago de Chile. Mixed and Mastered by Chalo González (Mastered from analog tapes) Art by Cristián González Photography by Philippe Blanc Produced by Nicolás Vera Published by Aconcagua Records Distributed by Aconcagua Records & Discos Pendiente About the Trío: The trio of guitarist Nicolás Vera (38), bassist Pablo Menares (37), and drummer Félix Lecaros (38) have been playing together in various capacities for over 15 years, starting when they were teenagers crashing jam sessions at the Club de Jazz de Santiago. Since then, they have rounded out the rhythm section in countless projects, both in their native Chile and abroad—-even after Menares and Lecaros made the move to New York City in 2009 and 2012. They had harbored the intention to record together for many years; when Vera visited New York in May 2016, they took advantage of the opportunity to record their first record, La Rueda Del Tiempo (The Wheel of Time). For the next two years, the trio presented material from that project at festivals and clubs throughout Chile as well as the International Festival of Puerto Principe in Haiti. After a series of concerts in Chile earlier this year, the group returned to the studio to record new material at CHT Studios in Santiago. These wandering adventures—now documented on both American continents that the trio call home—gave rise to the second album’s title, Nómada (Nomad). The result is a rare example of transcontinental brotherhood from three jazz compatriots who have grown up listening, playing, and studying together on their journeys throughout the Western Hemisphere.
