Podcasts about Jane Bunnett

From Cuba, Dafnis Prieto's revolutionary drumming techniques and compositions have had a powerful impact on the music landscape, nationally and internationally. His various awards and honors include a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, a GRAMMY Award for Back to the Sunset (2018), two additional GRAMMY nominations, two Latin GRAMMY nominations (including Best New Artist in 2007), and the Jazz Journalists Association's Up & Coming Musician of the Year in 2006. As a composer, Prieto has created music for dance, film, chamber ensembles, and most notably for his own bands, ranging from duets to big bands. He has received commissions, grants, and fellowships from Chamber Music America, Princeton University, Jazz at Lincoln Center, MoMA, Whitney Museum of American Art, National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, Jerome Foundation, East Carolina University, Painted Bride Art Center, Meet The Composer, WNYC, New Music USA, Hazard Productions, and Metropole Orkest, among others. Prieto has performed at many national and international music festivals as a bandleader. Since his 1999 arrival in New York, he has also worked in bands led by Michel Camilo, Chucho and Bebo Valdés, Henry Threadgill, Steve Coleman, Eddie Palmieri, Chico and Arturo O'Farrill, Dave Samuels and the Caribbean Jazz Project, Jane Bunnett, D.D. Jackson, Edward Simon, Roy Hargrove, Don Byron, and Andrew Hill, among others. Also a gifted educator, Prieto has conducted numerous master classes, clinics, and workshops around the world. He was on the jazz studies faculty at New York University from 2005 to 2014, and in 2015 joined the faculty of the University of Miami's Frost School of Music. In 2016, Prieto published the groundbreaking analytical and instructional drum book, A World of Rhythmic Possibilities. In 2020, he published Rhythmic Synchronicity, a book for non-drummers inspired by a course of the same name that Prieto developed at the Frost School of Music. In 2025 he released the book "WHAT ARE THE ODDS" the third book in his catalog, and it shows not only his passion for rhythm and drumming but furthermore his commitment to music education at large. This one takes you to a fascinating journey of rhythms and meters. The book features 519 examples, and each of them comes with an audio track and a video clip. He is the founder of the independent music company Dafnison Music, established in 2008.

WUCF's September artist for ‘In the Key of Latin Jazz' is Jane Bunnett. Finding jazz was a love story all on its own and from there her exposure to Afro-Cuban rhythms and Latin styles really turned a corner. Not seeing many women on the stages, she formed her own group called ‘Maqueque' – completely transforming the possibilities for future generations. Working on their fourth record together – her roots are planted and her passion is ever growing.

Case loads are still high, with a seven-day average of 2,423 new cases a day. Today the Blue Ridge Health District reports another 168 new cases. Deaths associated with the omicron surge continue to be recorded.

Among the public comments submitted so far is the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors who sent a letter on February 10 summarizing concerns they made to Lumen officials at a January 12 meeting. As part of the deal, the new company would acquire copper-based assets and the county wants to make sure that service continues. (hearing webpage)“Many of our vulnerable communities live in the rural areas of our county, where topography and distance often preclude cellular coverage,” the letter reads. “For these residents, this copper-plant is a vital lifeline for accessing 911 service, particularly during and after severe weather events.” The letter also includes dozens of complaints about CenturyLink service for “terrible and ineffective customer service” and for a lack of maintenance of older equipment. (letter and complaints) (second set of complaints)For anyone interested in learning more, there is a whole repository of documents available for public review, including Lumen’s petition to the SCC. Midway Manor subject of new affordable housing developmentThe Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority will hold a public hearing next Monday on the issuance of up to $23 million in bonds that would be used by a California-based company to redevelop Midway Manor. In January, the property sold for $16.5 million, more than double its 2022 assessment of $7.5 million. According to a legal notice published in the Daily Progress, the new company has requested the CRHA issue up the exempt facility bonds “to assist the Applicant in financing or refinancing a portion of the costs of acquiring, constructing, renovating, rehabilitating and equipping an age restricted affordable housing development to be known as Midway Manor Apartments, to consist of 94 one-bedroom units and 4 two-bedroom units.”The notice states in capital letters that taxpayer funds will not be sought to pay back any of the debt that Standard Midway Manor Venture LP will incur. To learn more about exempt facility bonds, visit the Legal Information Institute at the Cornell Law School. Since February 1, Midway Manor is now under management by the Franklin Johnston Group. Financing of the houses is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing through the Section 8 program, which bases rents on the income of tenants. In an email this morning, CRHA Executive Director John Sales said the agency’s only role will be to issue the bonds. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit applications underwayWe are in the season when providers of affordable housing are preparing applications for Low Income Housing Tax Credits in advance of a March deadline. Summaries have been sent to the agency formerly known as the Virginia Housing Development Authority and that’s required notifications to localities. (read all of the summaries)Piedmont Housing Alliance is seeking credits for 30 rental units at the Monticello Area Community Action Agency property on Park Street. These will be four one bedroom units, 22 two bedroom units, and four three bedroom units. The Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority seeks credits from the housing authority pool for 60 units for Phase 1A of the Sixth Street redevelopment with half of them being one bedroom and the other half being two bedroom units. This is separate from Phase 1 of the Sixth Street redevelopment, for which CRHA is seeking credits from the housing authority pool for 44 units with eight of them one bedroom, 20 two bedroom units, and 16 three bedroom units. CRHA is also seeking credits for 113 units in the second phase of redevelopment of South First Street. These would replace existing units and would consist of 19 one bedroom units, 38 two bedroom units, 26 three bedroom units, 15 four bedroom units, and 15 with more than four bedrooms. Last week, the company that is constructing the development of Friendship Court issued a press release announcing the groundbreaking from January. The firm Harkins is based in Columbia, Maryland. “Friendship Court’s redevelopment will be the largest construction of low-income housing for the area in over 20 years,” reads the release. “A multi-phased project, Phase 1 will consist of 106 units with buildings 1 and 2 totaling 35 stacked townhome-style units, while building 3 will include a one-level structured parking garage and three levels as a wood-framed, center corridor apartment building.” The project is being built to Passive House standards and will be Harkins’ third such project. Charlottesville releases Zoning 101 presentationThe next new information in Charlottesville’s rewrite of the zoning code won’t be available until mid-April when staff and Rhodeside & Harwell will publish a document with an inventory of the existing housing stock versus what could be built under the new future Land Use Map. This will take the form of a Diagnosis report and an Approach report. In the meantime, the city and the Cville Plans Together team has published a new page to provide an education on what the zoning process is all about. “Today’s zoning also has a number of flaws and barriers to development previously identified by City planning staff, elected and appointed officials, and others,” reads the Cville Plans Together website. “This process is an opportunity to cure these flaws and remove the barriers to the kind of development that is described in the updated Comprehensive Plan.” In January, a group of anonymous Charlottesville property owners filed suit in Charlottesville Circuit Court seeking to overturn the validity of the Comprehensive Plan. Read more in my January 12, 2022 story on that lawsuit. Shout-out to the Charlottesville Jazz Society In today’s second subscriber-supported public service announcement: The Charlottesville Jazz Society at cvillejazz.org is dedicated to the promotion, preservation, and perpetuation of all that  jazz, and this Sunday the Society is sponsoring the return of Jane Bunnett and her all-female band from Cuba, Maqueque. A concert will be held at 7 p.m. at Unity of Charlottesville where Maqueque will play music from their latest release On Firm Ground/Tierra Firme.

Housing Albemarle was adopted without a system of incentives to developers to keep those prices lower than they otherwise would be. That came back to the Board on February 16. Albemarle Housing Coordinator Stacy Pethia has suggested creation of an overlay district in the zoning code that would allow for reduced fees and other waivers in exchange for creating lower-priced units. “We did engage with developers and we had four meetings with developers between June and October of last year,” Pethia said. “During the first two meetings, staff listened to developer concerns and discussed housing policy goals. Based on that feedback collected during those meetings and research into incentive programs implemented in localities within Virginia and across the country, staff developed a list of potential incentives that could be in a package.”The overlay would be restricted to Albemarle’s development areas and would be optional, meaning developers would not have to participate. If they did, there would be the possibility of many ways their bottom line could be assisted. “They would offer a bonus density, reduction in building permit fees, and flexibility in design and parking standards,” Pethia said. The overlay would also allow developers to bypass the zoning process in some places if they build to the maximum density allowed in the Comprehensive Plan. At a minimum, twenty percent of units would need to be kept below market rate at levels identified in Housing Albemarle. “And the number of affordable units to be required would be calculated prior to applying the density bonus,” Pethia said. “This would provide developers with additional market rate units to help offset the cost of making the affordable units available. The incentive plan will also address a gap in Albemarle’s current policy by creating a waiting list of people who will qualify for below-market opportunities based on their income. “It’s really difficult to market the affordable units to income-qualified households and that’s really an important issue,” Pethia said. “It has meant that many of our for-sale units in particular have turned market-rate without being purchased by income-qualified households.” In public comments before the discussion, Neil Williamson of the Free Enterprise Forum wanted waivers for affordable housing projects to be mandatory rather than at the discretion of staff. “The reality is that Albemarle’s fast diminishing development areas where the easiest parcels to develop have been developed,” Williamson said. “That means parcels left to develop will likely require a special use permit. While the policy anticipates this reality, the opportunity for staff denial is too great.” Williamson also said he wanted more robust incentives such as expansion of the development area as well as the county paying the hook-up fees to the Albemarle County Service Authority for water and sewer. “Considering the importance of affordable housing to the community, certainly providing $20,000 per affordable unit is not too much to ask,” Williamson said. That would be expensive to the county. Pethia said the recent approval of Premier Circle, Rio Point, and RST Residences created 414 below-market units. If the developers were to be 100 percent reimbursed, that would cost the county $5.6 million. Supervisors were asked if they supported the idea of an overlay. Supervisor Bea LaPisto-Kirtley said she did, but not want to expand past a certain area.“I for one do not want to see development go into the rural areas and to keep development in the development area,” LaPisto-Kirtley said. Supervisor Chair Donna Price (Scottsville District) said there will come a point in time when that boundary will be adjusted, but not yet.“We’re already at the point where we have to fill in more, build up higher, or we have to expand the development areas so it’s important for community members to understand we have to look at ways to try and achieve all of our objectives which includes as long as possible limiting the amount of the development area,” Price said. Price was also skeptical of reducing parking standards at this time. “We do not have a comprehensive transportation system that can get everyone throughout the community wherever they need to do,” Price said. Supervisors approved the Rio Point on 27 acres in late December which will see a total of 328 units in an apartment complex on land that is currently undeveloped. That’s in the Rio District which is represented by Supervisor Ned Gallaway. He had looked at the draft calculation for bonus density. “So Rio Point, if I’m understanding the answer, would have allowed 1,300 units the way the math was done?” Gallaway asked Pethia.“That is correct,” Pethia said. That would be based on provisions in other programs that grant a 45 percent increase in density based on the gross density. The actual calculations will change as the incentive package is further tweaked.Gallaway suggested having the overlay apply only in certain parts of the county, such as those already identified in small area plans such as the Rio Road plan.  However, he added he is not opposed to any ideas at this point in the development of the incentives. Supervisor Jim Andrews (Samuel Miller District) said he wanted staff to take a deeper look into the results that have happened in other communities that have created developer incentives. “I would be really interested in hearing more about looking not only at what they’re doing but how successful they are at what they’re doing,” Andrews said. “Loudoun County’s proposals for example, their program I guess has been in place long enough to have a little bit of history. It looks to me like it’s having some success. Those are the ones we want to emulate if we can, if they work for our circumstances.”Supervisor Ann Mallek (White Hall) said she needed more information and for detail. “I am very concerned about an overlay that applies to every piece of direct because there is a great difference between the capability of one lot versus another to actually accomplish something and have a product where people would want to live,” Mallek said. Staff will return to the board with more information at a later date but Supervisor Gallaway pointed out that the package’s adoption will take until after the one year anniversary of the adopting of Housing Albemarle. General Assembly updateWith just over three weeks to go, action is moving fast in the General Assembly, with bills that passed in one house with a close partisan vote now meeting their fate in committee meetings. These include:The Senate Commerce and Labor Committee  killed a bill yesterday to cap the minimum wage at $11 an hour. The vote was 11 to 4. (HB296)That committee also defeated a bill to not move forward with subsequent increases mandated by a previous General Assembly. That vote was 12 to 3. (HB320)A bill to allow employers to pay less than the minimum wage if they have fewer than ten employees was also defeated 12 to 3. (HB1040)Bills to restrict collective bargaining by public employees were also defeated. (HB336) (HB337) (HB341) (HB883)The Senate Committee on Education and Health ended consideration of a bill that would made it easier for School Boards to dismiss new teachers by extending probationary periods. (HB9)The Senate Judiciary Committee defeated a bill that would have reduced penalties for violating the state’s concealed weapon laws on a 10 to 5 vote. (HB11)On a 8 to 7 vote, the Senate Rehabilitation and Social Services Committee ended consideration of a bill that would have required the parole board to review the transcript of the trial for each incarcerated person up for parole.

Hello everyone, This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic, a monthly interviews podcast where we talk with accomplished jazz doctors about their lives, careers and their personal transcription secrets. On this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast Mirko Guerrini interviews the guest jazz doctor: Roberto Occhipinti Listen to Roberto Occhipinti's answers to the questions below: Why do you transcribe? 04:34 What do you expect to bring home from a transcription?  11:36 How do you choose the solos you transcribe? 18:34 What is your transcribing methodology? 20:18 How do you practise the solos you transcribe? 26:06 How do you incorporate ideas from the transcriptions into your playing? 43:44 Which transcription of yours is your favourite? 49:10 Bassist Roberto Occhipinti was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on March 25, 1955. He comes from a prominent musical family that includes two guitarists: younger brother Michael and cousin David. Michael Occhipinti is a well-known sideman and co-founder of NOJO -- the Neufeld-Occhipinti Jazz Orchestra. At the University of Toronto, beginning in 1972, Roberto Occhipinti studied under Thomas Monohan and was mentored by Joel Quarrington and especially the acclaimed jazz bassist Dave Young. He was a member of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra in the mid-'70s, the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra in the early to mid-'80s, and the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra in the mid- to late '80s; was principal bassist with the Esprit Orchestra from 1986 to 1994; and was a longstanding member of Arraymusic from 1979-2000. By 1997, Occhipinti began working with Cuban expatriate jazz pianist Hilario Durán, then saxophonist Jane Bunnett's Spirits of Havana, NOJO with guest Sam Rivers or Don Byron, the Toronto sextet Soul Stew, Marty Morell, Gorillaz, Englishman Damon Albarn's Mali Music, the Russian Globalis Symphony Orchestra, the True North Brass, Jovino Santos Neto, the Gryphon Trio, the St. Lawrence Quartet, and Via Salzburg. Also a well-respected producer, Occhipinti has worked for Hilario Durán, Dafnis Prieto, Quartetto Gelato, and the Shurum Burum Jazz Circus, and has been a music director and orchestra contractor for films and commercials. He received an Artist Diploma from the University of Toronto in 1999, and in 2001, as part of Bunnett's Spirits of Havana, he shared the Juno award for Best Global Album. In 2005 he received his own Juno as producer of Durán's New Danzon CD. Other awards include the National Jazz Award for Producer of the Year in 2005 and 2006, and Acoustic Group of the Year for his own band in 2005. In 2006 he received a SOCAN award for the cartoon series George Shrinks.  In this episode, Roberto explains his personal transcribing approach and shows how to profit from every transcription you make. Among all the great things that Roberto says, my favourites are:  'What I put on paper when I transcribe is not what was originally written on paper, I write what I hear';  'I am always looking for good stuff to steal'. 'As Clark Terry use to say: Imitate, Assimilate, Innovate' 'You don't do justice to Dexter Gordon when you write his solos on paper' 'Most of the times, when I transcribe, I do it for the specific purpose of getting paid' 'The whole point of transcribing is to figure out why the player did that thing, why it works and why it appeals to you' Artists mentioned in this episode: Clark Terry, Dexter Gordon, Dave Liebman, George Russell, Richard Davis, Gorillaz, Jamiroquai, Joe Henderson, Mike Smith, Miles Davis,  a.o. You can check Roberto Occhipinti here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Occhipinti You can check Mirko Guerrini's music here: https://mirkoguerrini.bandcamp.com Mirko Guerrini is a D'Addario artist, playing D'Addario mouthpieces and reeds.

(...) Filó Machado empezó tocando temas compuestos por gente como Djavan, Aldir Blanc, Sérgio Natureza, Taiguara Judith de Souza, Sergio Ricardo y Fátima Güedes , cosa que más tarde le dió la oportunidad de presentarse en los Festivales de Jazz de Córcega y Uzeste en Francia, y a hacer de telonero de Nina Simone en el Festival de Jazz de Cannes. En 1995 participa como músico y compositor en el magnífico album de la flautista y saxofonista canadiense Jane Bunnett, junto a músicos de la talla de la propia Bunnett, Larry Cramer, Paquito d'Rivera, Hilario Duran o de su hermano Celso Machado. De los 10 temas que componen el trabajo, 5 están firmados por Filó Machado. Pero fue en el año 2000 cuando los norteamericanos descubrieron su música coincidiendo con el lanzamiento de su trabajo “Cantando un Samba” (1999) grabado por la discográfica de Ohio, Malandro Record, precisamente el disco que hemos decidido acercar hoy a los altavoces del tejado. El disco obtuvo unánimes elogios por parte de la crítica especializada de Jazz y de Word Music, en prestigiosas revistas como Dawn Beat, Jazziz, Jazz Now y Rhythm, además de constar en la lista de los 44 títulos más recomendados para participar en los premios Grammy del año 2000 en la categoría Mejor Album de Jazz Latino.

Sarah Thawer is a self-taught drummer based in Toronto, Canada, who's been performing on stage since the age of 5 years old. https://www.instagram.com/sarahtdrumguru/ (Sarah) has found great success by embracing the world of formal education by studying jazz and world music at York University. She was the recipient of the Oscar Peterson Scholarship, the highest award given by the institution, and graduating with the Summa Cum Laude distinction. Her accolades and work ethic have taken her to share a stage with world-class artists, including AR Rahman, Ruth B, Jane Bunnett and Maqueque, Del Hartley, and D'bi and the 333, to name a few. We had an incredible conversation with this amazing musician, and we were also lucky enough to have her record some tracks in our studio that we included at the end of this episode as well

This week Charles Mingus would have turned 99 years old, so to be a whole year ahead of the celebration of his centennial we've decided to focus this edition of Mondo Jazz on his figure as a composer, featuring some of the best renditions of some of his most memorable compositions. The playlist features Maceo Parker; Osmiza; Vienna Art Orchestra; Jane Bunnett, Dewey Redman, Stanley Cowell, Dean Bowman; Joni Mitchell; Gil Evans; Steve Lacy; Hal Willner; The Uptown Horns; Greg Cohen; Elvis Costello, Bill Frisell; Michael Blake; Medeski, Martin & Wood. Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/13065964/Mondo-Jazz (up to Medeski, Martine & Wood). Happy listening!

La flautista y saxofonista canadiense Jane Bunnett, junto con su trompetista y marido, Larry Cramer grabaron lo que resulta ser una obra maestra del jazz latino y afro cubano, logrando una muy sólida comunión entre los géneros ya mencionados, así como una brillante participación de diversos grupos auténticamente cubanos, tales como The Santiago Jazz Saxophone Quartet, Los Jubilados de Santiago de Cuba, Los Hoyos de Santiago de Cuba, y otros músicos invitados.

Saranaide is an accomplished vocalist, songwriter and musician based out of Buffalo, NY. With parents from Panama and Puerto Rico, Saranaide has dipped into her DNA to embrace and celebrate the pulses and sounds of Latin America; exploding on the Buffalo Jazz Scene with a new vigor. Inspired by the legends of soul and jazz riding on the rhythms of the world, Saranaide's unique sound is sweet honey dripping over a spicy stew. A lifelong learner, she has traveled the world to better inform her process – whether it is studying Maracatu in Canada and Brazil or traveling to Ghana to immerse herself more fully in West African drumming & dance, Saranaide beautifully blends and reflects her Afro-Latino roots. She writes in both English and Spanish, most recently adding Portuguese to her singing repertoire. Her songwriting is universal and highly personal; her stage presence ethereal and earthy, wrapping her audience up in each story told through her sultry vocals, willowing flute and jazzy guitar riffs. She began her musical journey learning the piano at the age of 4. She picked up the flute in grade school and played in various ensembles and bands throughout her life. Her musicality sparked her interest in teaching herself guitar (and later ukulele) for church services, where she spent most of her youth building the foundation for her practice. Saranaide also sings with the Buffalo Afrobeat Orchestra and is passionate about her work as a birth doula. Most notable performances of her career were being a guest of the Brooklyn College Choir in 2018 to perform two sold out nights at Carnegie Hall with Joe Hisaishi in a symphonic concert featuring the music of Studio Ghibli, wowing a sold out crowd at Hotel Henry with a night of bossa nova, and opening up for Jane Bunnett and Maqueque.

Hace unos cuantas semanas, en nuestro capítulo 17, hicimos un programa especial al que llamamos "Cuerpo de Jazz, alma de Fusion". En dicho programa repasábamos una preciosa colección de standards de jazz compuestos entre los años 20 y mediados de los 50, pero vistos a través del prisma musical de músicos que habían desarrollado la mayor parte de su carrera en el ámbito del jazz fusión. Hoy pretendemos hacer un programa similar con la diferencia de que en esta ocasión hemos querido centrarnos en clásicos del jazz moderno, para nosotros el jazz que se desarrolló desde finales de los años 50. Analizaremos temas de gente tan importante como Theolonius Monk, Toots Thielemans, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Bruno Martino o John Coltrane pero vistos por artistas como Jane Bunnett, Joe Sample, Tito Puente, Hendrik Meurkens, Michel Petrucciani, George Benson o Cal Tjader. Una auténtica delicatessen gatuna que os servimos desde el tejado para vuestro deleite musical. Esperamos que os guste.

El pianista Axel Tosca es un joven valor de la escena del jazz de Nueva York. Nacido cubano, es hijo de la excelente cantante Xiomara Laugart y de Alberto Tosca, cantautor de Cuba. El primer trabajo de Axel Tosca tiene título homónimo. Heaven and Earth, Cielo y Tierra, es el disco más reciente de la flautista y compositora de Nueva York, Colette Michaan. Esta es su cuarta producción después de los discos First Cause, Querencia e Incarnate, álbumes donde ya mostraba su afición por los ritmos de Cuba, contenido y tendencia que se mantiene en este disco.Tony Taño ha sido uno de los directores de orquesta, arreglista y compositor más importantes de Cuba desde comienzos de los años 60. Hace unos días nos llegó la noticia de su muerte. Este próximo día 20 de abril habría cumplido 80 años. Desde comienzos de los años 50 hasta los primeros años 60, Tony Taño, natural de Caimito del Guayabal, hoy provincia de Artemisa, se dedicó a estudiar música, desde solfeo, armonía y trompeta hasta composición y dirección orquestal. En su biografía encontramos una larga lista de responsabilidades y de tareas.Ibrahim Ferrer, uno de los rostros familiares del proyecto Buena Vista Social Club, fue uno de los cantantes preferidos del director santiaguero Chepín, con quien vivió y compartió dos momentos de su biografía musical, primero en la Orquesta Chepín Chovén, una de las grandes alianzas de músicos orientales, y después como vocalista de nuevo de la orquesta de Chepín, cuando éste decidió separarse de Chovén para dirigir su orquesta oriental. Ibrahim Ferrer era de San Luis, población próxima a Santiago de Cuba, donde nació el 20 de febrero de 1925. El Septeto Turquino de Santiago de Cuba puede ser la réplica del grupo habanero Sierra Maestra. Los dos grupos surgieron en los años 80 y ambos en los recintos universitarios de las ciudades donde estudiaban. Desde el año 1982, al frente del Turquino, continua el contrabajista Rolando Ferrer Rosado para mantener al septeto en primera fila de la calidad de los grupos soneros de Cuba. A finales del año pasado nos llegó su nuevo álbum, se titula Ligadito con el son.Súbeme la radio es el éxito de Descemer Bueno y de Enrique Iglesias, que Sweet Lizzy Proyect interpretan en inglés y del que disponen un par de vídeos que no pueden perderse. En la despedida, recuperamos el disco Oddara, cd del año 2016 de Jane Bunnett & Maqueque que compitió en la pasada edición de los Grammy.
