The album includes important, though rarely performed, works by Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos and Argentina&#8217;s Alberto Ginastera, in addition to two classically-inspired works by Brazilian bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim, two originals by S\u00e1nchez and one by the session&#8217;s string arranger and conductor, Carlos Franzetti.<\/p>\n<p>  Two years in the making, Coral is a beguiling blend of symphonic, Latin American and jazz elements, all tied together by the imposing and insightful improvisations of the 35-year-old native of Hato Rey, Puerto Rico. Recorded in The Czech Republic with one of Europe&#8217;s premier symphonies, The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Coral also features alto saxophonist <b>Miguel Zen\u00f3n<\/b>, pianist <b>Edsel Gomez<\/b>, bassists <b>John Benitez<\/b> and <b>Ben Street<\/b>, drummer <b>Adam Cruz<\/b>, and percussionist Pernell <b>Saturnino<\/b>. The program&#8217;s centerpiece works are two compositions by Jobim, two by Ginastera and the title piece by Villa-Lobos. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra performs on all tracks.       <cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/cfinclude><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coral David Sanchez (Sony &#8211; 2004) This is a deep<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4449\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
