Omar Sosa and Paolo Fresu Perform from their Album ‘Alma’

The World

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.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
