Figure montante d’un jazz parmi les plus créatifs de sa génération, Jorge Vistel incarne une vision audacieuse et résolument moderne du métissage musical. Trompettiste virtuose, compositeur inspiré, il développe un langage unique où l’héritage afro-cubain dialogue avec les esthétiques les plus contemporaines du jazz. Arrivé récemment à Paris, il y fait déjà forte impression, distillant sur les scènes de la capitale une énergie saisissante et un son d’une rare intensité.Collaborateur de grands noms tels que Benny Golson, David Murray, Lewis Nash ou Roy Hargrove, Jorge Vistel tisse une œuvre à la fois ancrée dans ses racines et tournée vers l’avenir. Élève de Steve Coleman, révélé par Greg Osby, il incarne cette génération de musiciens cubains pour qui les traditions rythmiques de l’île deviennent le terreau d’explorations musicales novatrices. Ce projet naît de la volonté de revisiter le répertoire traditionnel cubain à partir d’une perspective contemporaine. À travers de nouveaux arrangements, Jorge Vistel propose une relecture de chansons emblématiques telles que Chan Chan ou Tres Palabras, en explorant leurs structures, leurs harmonies et leurs possibilités expressives dans le langage du jazz actuel. Loin d’une simple réinterprétation, ce projet cherche à approfondir l’essence de ces œuvres, en respectant leur identité originale tout en les inscrivant dans un contexte ouvert à l’improvisation et au dialogue entre les musiciens. “Cuban Songbook” établit un pont entre la tradition et la création contemporaine, offrant une vision personnelle et actuelle d’un patrimoine musical universel.
