Danilo_Perez_nrDanilo Perez’s latest is a mutating collage that melds classical, Latin, and jazz sonorities across the 11 tracks. Standouts include the opener “Daniela’s Chronicles,” where Perez fearlessly merges ostinato bass lines, baroque piano textures, and steel drums, and the title track’s transcription-worthy solo piano intro. Few artists dare to go where Perez goes time and time again. He’s a keyboard giant that continues to impress. (Mack Avenue, daniloperez.com)
