Omar Sosa and Paolo Fresu Perform from their Album ‘Alma’
I've been following the respective careers of Omar Sosa and Paolo Fresu for more than 10 years. Sosa is a Cuban jazz pianist and Fresu is an Italian trumpet player. As soloists, they push beyond the conventional limits of jazz.
But then I heard that Sosa and Fresu began a collaboration a few years ago, I thought, "wow." So when they came to a Boston jazz club a couple of weeks ago, I had to get them to our studios for a chat perform some of their incredible music.
