Bio
Tierra Nueva en Vivo is a Jazz Quartet that believe there is another way to play Afro Caribbean Latin Jazz music.
Between Manolo and Antonio, both composers and arrangers of the band, and because both are melody oriented, their influences are very eclectic. In latin music our influences come from Sergio Mendez, Machito, Mongo Santamaria and all Salsa bands. Our Jazz influences come mostly from Miles Davis, Chic Correa, Spyrogira, Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller. Basically, we both listen to all bands with fusion rhythms and good melodies.
The main difference between us and any other Latin Jazz bands are the special attention we dedicate to the melodies in which we try our best to look for a good and easy to understand melodic lines with tights arrangements in our compositions. There is another detail that really separate us from anybody else, and that is our Salsa feel. Usually, people start to dance trough our improvisations.
Although it is very difficult to to describe our style of music, there is an old saying that state that a picture worth a thousand words (or a sound); if that is so, then go to www.MySpace.com/540269321 and have a taste.
