Negroni's Trio - New Era (2017) [Official Digital Download]

“New Era,” the stunning new album from multiple Grammy-nominated Jazz group NEGRONI’s TRiO sets a new pace for the band in its exploration of multiple musical styles and sounds which have influenced Trio founder Jose Negroni throughout his life. Produced by Jose, “New Era” is a departure from their previous eight recordings stylistically and is set for release September 8th via Sony Music Latin. Both domestic and international tour dates will accompany the release.

NEGRONI’s TRiO is made up of Jose Negroni, Josh Allen and Jose’s son, Nomar Negroni. Due to his musical (Jazz) chops, Jose Negroni worked early in his career as musical director to many Latin pop artists and at one point even worked at Sony ATV Music Publishing. In 2002 he then, along with his son Nomar, decided to form the Trio. However from the very beginning he was always being directed as to what repertoire to include on their albums. After eight albums, this one being the ninth, he was finally allowed, as he requested, to select all of the repertoire without objections and interference from anyone.

As a music director for other artists and having worked at Sony ATV Pub, Jose Negroni was exposed to a wide palate of repertoire that afforded him deeper and broader knowledge of multi-genre repertoire. It resulted in Negroni truly broadening his personal list of favorite songs, and this new album is just that – a collection of songs he is passionate about and that he always wanted to record. From reinterpretations of classic Jazz tracks such as “A Train” and “Sweet Georgie Fame” to new takes of pop standards such as “That’s The Way Of The World,” “Sunny” and “Isn’t She Lovely” to the Brazilian and Latin leanings of “El Incomprendido,” “Perfidia” and “Brazilian Love Affair,” NEGRONI’s TRiO traverses the global musical soundscape.

“Brimming with the South American overtones, this music is a lesson in just how far Latin jazz has progressed, and where it is going…representing Negroni’s Trio sense of fresh directions and exploration, continually evolving its hybrid music.” (All About Jazz)
