    Jorge Sylvester: MusiCollage CD in a jewel case.

    “Sylvester shines as composer and player… MusiCollage is the quintessence of creative teamwork.” – JazzTimes Magazine

    On this debut Postcards album, “Jorge Sylvester: MusiCollage”, saxophonist and composer Jorge Sylvester has created a true fusion of Modern Jazz and Latin Music. In Sylvester’s playing, the listener can hear strong influences of every great Jazz alto player from Bird through Wayne Shorter. His compositions wax poetically through the sounds of Latin America, the Carribean, Africa, and urban street music of New York and his native Panama, all with a Jazz soul. His masterful playing has put him on stages next to Jazz greats like Dave Holland and Stefon Harris.

    “Critic’s Choice: A fresh, eclectic blend of straight-ahead, Latin and avant-garde jazz styles.” – Billboard Magazine

    On “Jorge Sylvester: Musicollage”, which consists entirely of his own compositions, Sylvester is joined by trumpeter Claudio Roditi, a rhythm section that includes drummer Gene Jackson and vibraphonist Monte Croft, Bobby Sanabria, an exciting, combustible encyclopedia of Latin percussion, and guitarist Marvin Sewell, who adds a contemporary urban feel. With this album, Jorge Sylvester takes us on a clever yet soulful, textured yet comprehensible, and thoughtful yet danceable musical odyssey that displays his adept playing ability, spirited musical vision, and multicultural compositions.

    Includes unlimited streaming of MusiCollage via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

JorgeSylvesterMusic Brooklyn, New York

"Jorge Sylvester's distinctive alto saxophone sound is imbued with the volatility of Caribbean basin's complex mosaic, transformed and focused by the probing musical linguistics pioneered by the great saxophonists of modern jazz. Jorge's composer's imagination is the matchless structural coherence of his improvisational work".

Violinist, Composer Ramsey Ameen, 12/2005
