"El Jazz Brilla en La Mola con Eva Cortés"

"La explanada del Hornabeque de la fortaleza de La Mola se llenó el viernes por la noche de frescura y seducción, de experiencia y profesionalidad. ? El alma del jazz en España, Eva Cortés, brilló e hizo resplandecer la música en un concierto íntimo."
-Redaccion. - Menorca Diario Insular


"Mon jazz est le reflet de ce que je suis"

"Eva Cortes, el poder sensual del jazz. Su nuevo álbum es un puro encanto de fineza, melodías y sensualidad. La cantante española, originaria de Honduras
nos muestra la extensión de su talento y su sensualidad combinadas con su voz cálida , interpretando sus bellas composiciones"
Nicolas Vidal. - BSC News. Jazz Magazine. France


"A Honduran, with a Sevillan accent and a soul for Jazz"

"La voz de Eva Cortes tiene un registro amplio, se mueve con soltura entre el español y otros idiomas. Es sugerente, clara, emotiva
y cercana, con reminiscencias del jazz vocal clásico."
-Sara Barderas. - El Pais.CR


"One of the most stunning and prodigious voices on the Jazz Scene in Spanish"

"Eva Cortes, una de las voces mas impactantes del panorama jazzistico en español. Su nuevo disco sorprende por su trivalencia idiomática, la solida
base instrumental conseguida y por supuesto por ese talento innato de Eva para interpretarlo."

-Antonio Fernandez. - ViveJazz


"A Billie Holiday with Tattoos"

"Cómo sonaría Billie Holiday si hubiera nacido española y llevara los brazos tatuados? La pregunta, sí, es rara; la respuesta difícil, pero si hay que buscarla
en alguna parte será en la música de Eva Cortés. La cantante, una de las de mayor proyección internacional del jazz patrio, acaba de sacar a la luz nuevo disco
en formato CD/DVD, grabado en directo, con el título Jazz one night with Eva Cortés in Madrid y bajo los auspicios del prestigioso sello Verve." - Diario de Aragon, Correo de Andalucía..

Bio

Eva Cortés Bio:

After her first release for EMI: “Sola Contigo” (Alone with You), and her two subsequent releases for Universal Jazz Spain:
“Como Agua Entre los Dedos” (Like Water Between the Fingers), and “El Mar de mi Vida” (The Sea of My Life),
Eva Cortés ranks among the young and most interesting composers and performers of the jazz scene in Spanish.
“Back 2 The Source” is Eva’s personal look at the essence of what she considers to be the mainstay of her musical influence: Jazz.
It is an album packed with best-known standards, classical pieces from the American Songbook,
in which the Honduras-born artist uses for the first time English as the main language in one of her recordings.
But not only that – after having toured Spain, France, Norway, The Netherlands, and performing several times in New York City,
this album is the fruit of “the solid base provided by a band performing with the same set-up for several years now,
with many hours, experiences, and miles in common … with the consistency provided by that sort of complicity
which can only be achieved with ongoing and constant work”.
“Back 2 The Source” is jazz from head to toe and, as it is often the case in Eva’s albums, it includes outstanding collaborations
with guest artists like the guitar player and a major Brazilian figure Romero Lubambo, or Mark Whitfield, who is probably nowadays
one of the most significant names of jazz guitar. Other guest artists include Paco de Lucía’s bass player and a major figure in Cuban music
for the last ten years, Alain Pérez, besides one of the key names in the development of the jazz/flamenco fusion, the drummer Marc Miralta.
Her fifth album, “Jazz one night with Eva Cortés in Madrid”, was released by VERVE/Universal on September 17th, 2012.
This new CD/DVD was recorded in just one live show on December 28th, 2011 in Madrid.
Currently Eva is working on her 6th album which will be recorded in NYC in May 2013 and released in September 2013 .
