The music of pianist and composer Emilio Teubal may not be familiar to you but his debut album hopes to change that a bit. Argentinean-born Teubal captures an interesting session of light jazz incorporating elements of Argentinean music on La Balteuband. Based in New York, the pianist leads a small ensemble of ethnically diverse musicians from all over the world producing a world jazz sound that you will enjoy. Joining Teubal on this first effort are fellow countryman Franco Pinna (drums), Israeli-born Kobi Solomon (clarinet and saxes), from Japan, Moto Fukushima (bass), and Brazilian Felipe Selles (flute and saxes).
The album contains all original compositions from the leader and other members of the band. The music throughout features unique rhythms and harmonies not normally associated with your traditional contemporary jazz sound. The second track, “Capinias” highlights the playing of Teubal on the Fender Rhodes in an up tempo melody that is quite good. This is followed by twelve-minutes of an intricate direction-changing number with “El Sausa” providing a lot of solo space for members of the band in one percussive heavy cut.
The tune “Historias Tristes” belongs to the reeds with pronounced performances from the saxes and the flute instruments. Teubal opens up with a beautiful piano intro on “AC in AB” in a nine-minute lively number and one of the best on this disc. La Balteuband provides a very interesting set of fresh new material in a unique musical treat delivered by a first-rate ensemble.
