"It’s not just the rhythmic potency of Venezuelan music that stands out here; indeed, on a number of the tracks it's Vielma's indebtedness to the wider jazz tradition that is striking."- All About Jazz
“The ensemble is not quite hard-bop and not quite salsa-they are something more complex and unprecedented, and take sharp turns at times.” -Downbeat Magazine
“A superb recording with an excellent band, superior compositions and superb soloing.”- Jazz and Blues Report
‘Venezuelan Jazz Collective’ is an innovative jazz ensemble comprised by an outstanding cast of world-class musicians based in the US led by multipercussionist/composer Fran Vielma. Their awareness of the jazz tradition, concert music, and an upbringing surrounded by the Caribbean and South American genres allow these performers to go from one idiom to the other with masterful spontaneity and musicianship.
The music of their debut album Tendencias materializes Vielma’s vision of showcasing Venezuelan music genres blended with jazz and concert music elements. The work has been very well received by the critics and it was included in the “Best of 2018” lists by NYC Jazz Record, Downbeat, Latin Jazz Network, and Ladosis Magazine.
Last fall the ensemble was premiered in a full-house concert at the prestigious John F. Kennedy Center in D.C. followed by a show recorded live at the world -renown WBGO Jazz Studios in NJ.
