VICTOR NORIEGA – STONE’S THROW

The debut album from the Victor Noriega Trio now available: buy the cd

"Stone's Throw is an impressive debut recording from a pianist and composer of considerable talent. Noriega's tunes crackle with individuality, making it clear that his ambitions reside in innovation not imitation.

Introspective at times, energetic and boundary-stretching at others, these tunes seamlessly blend jazz and modern classical influences, expertly rendered by Noriega and his trio. Ranks with the best jazz CDs of the year so far. Victor Noriega is a player to watch."
