Jazz Trumpeter/ Composer Pablo Masis has released an invigorating new release of musical conversations, Rubicon.
Masis, based in New York City, is joined by fellow area musicians bassist Aidan Carroll and Drummer Jared Schonig for this new release.
Pablo Masis is in fine form on the title track, in addition to four other noteworthy selections, all written by trumpeter. "Rubicon" recalls the slow burning intensity of a mid-60's Blue Note date when jazz musicians were beginning to embrace the "new thing" and explore the outside of the jazz envelope, while keeping one foot in the bop tradition.
Selections include "Inference", "Heartbeats", "Rubicon", "From Ashes" and "Tall Tales".
Pablo Masis is an accomplished jazz trumpeter who has performed across the United States and Europe, including New York, Portland, Washington D.C., and Omaha. He received a Master’s Degree in Jazz Studies from the University of New Orleans in 2003 after studying with Terence Blanchard, Clyde Kerr Jr. and Ed Peterson. Masis moved to New York City in 2008 and has worked with a wide variety of acts including Michael Buble, Gladys Knight, and the Temptations. The trumpeter has two previous releases to his credit, Half Past (2009) and "Intrinsic"(2012).
