“As strong a piano trio recording as I’ve heard in the 2020s.” — Ted Panken
Award-winning Cuban-American pianist and composer Kemuel Roig presents 3Discovery, Vol. 1, a vibrant and deeply personal trio recording that explores the rich meeting point between Afro-Cuban rhythms, modern jazz language, and fearless improvisation.
Joined by bassist Samuel Burgos and drummer Juan Armando Díaz, Roig leads a trio whose chemistry is felt in every moment of this recording. Featuring mostly original compositions, 3Discovery balances lyrical beauty, rhythmic sophistication, and adventurous musical interplay while honoring the traditions that shaped its sound.
From the reflective opening of Reflejos to the explosive energy of Conga Jazz, from the emotional depth of Vida and Philotimo to fresh interpretations of beloved Cuban classics, the album showcases a trio committed to artistic discovery and musical conversation at the highest level.
Produced by Gary Galimidi, 3Discovery, Vol. 1 captures three master musicians creating music that is both deeply rooted and boldly forward-looking.
Michel Camilo describes Roig as a pianist with a “nimble, luminous touch and astonishing facility,” qualities that resonate throughout this compelling recording.
