MIAMI (28 de agosto, 2017) – Negroni’s Trio, el trío de jazz latino con varias nominaciones al Latin GRAMMY®, lanzará su noveno álbum New Era el 8 de septiembre por Sony Music Latin. Este CD fusiona géneros e incluye canciones que marcaron la infancia de José Negroni, fundador del trío. Producido por José, New Era representa una evolución estilística, y su lanzamiento será acompañado por una gira internacional.
Los integrantes de Negroni’s Trio son José Negroni, su hijo Nomar Negroni (percusiones) y Josh Allen (bajo). El amplio conocimiento musical de José lo llevó a ser director musical para muchos artistas del pop Latino y por un tiempo él ocupó un puesto en la renombrada editora Sony ATV Music Publishing. Su trío nació en 2002, Nomar también es miembro original. Desde sus inicios, el grupo siempre se había visto obligado a incluir material que le encargó su compañía discográfica. Ahora, con New Era, José tomó el control y seleccionó todos los temas.
Sus experiencias como director musical y con Sony ATV le ayudaron a conocer toda la gama de géneros musicales. Gracias a esta formación, sus canciones favoritas vienen de diferentes épocas y estilos. Y todos los temas de New Era son canciones que le apasionan y que ha querido grabar desde hace mucho tiempo. Este disco incluye arreglos originales de clásicos de jazz como “Take the A Train” y “Sweet Georgie Fame”, además de covers de éxitos del pop como “That’s The Way Of The World“, “Sunny” e “Isn’t She Lovely“, al igual que temas latinos como “El Incomprendido“, “Perfidia” y “Brazilian Love Affair“. New Era es un disco con sonido global.
Manteniéndose fiel a los cimientos del tradicional trío de jazz, este grupo también ha incorporado otros toques con teclados y un cuarteto de cuerdas. Cuatro de las canciones se destacan por sus vocalistas invitados.
Aymée Nuviola, la intérprete cubana, canta “Sunny”, aportando influencias afro-cubanas a este conocido tema por primera vez. Nuviola recientemente protagonizó la telenovela Celia de Telemundo/NBC, en el papel de Celia Cruz. Cuenta con una larga trayectoria en Cuba, fungió como vocalista del consagrado grupo Irakere, y ahora como solista sigue desarrollando su carrera.
La artista brasileña Rose Max, conocida como integrante del dúo nominado al Latin GRAMMY® Rose Max & Ramatis (su esposo), colabora con Negroni’s Trio cantando “Perfidia” en portugués.
El renombrado cantante, compositor y actor Pedro Capó es el invitado especial en “El Incomprendido”, tema originalmente escrito y grabado por su abuelo Bobby Capó. En su juventud, José Negroni acompañó a Bobby Capó en vivo, tocando esta canción en el piano. Esta vez, Negroni se une a Pedro Capó para renovar esta canción con un arreglo muy innovador.
Acompañando al trío en el tema “Take the A Train” es el rapero/vocalista Lápiz Conciente. Siendo uno de los pioneros del rap dominicano, él aporta un verso sobre el transporte urbano y el ambiente urbano que lo rodea en el día a día.
José Negroni nació y pasó su infancia en el sur de Puerto Rico. Siendo pianista, compositor y arreglista de raíces caribeñas, realizó su visión musical formando Negroni’s Trio y compartiendo su personalidad musical en escenarios por todo el mundo.
Iniciando su carrera como maestro de música, Negroni capacitó a muchos jóvenes talentos prometedores. Ahora, muchos años después, enseñar y educar a los estudiantes sigue siendo parte de su vida cotidiana, labor que combina con su ajetreada agenda de conciertos.
Junto a su hijo Nomar Negroni, un percusionista carismático, energético y meticuloso, quién es egresado del prestigioso Berklee College of Music; y el rítmico bajista Josh Allen, egresado de La Escuela de Música Frost de la Universidad de Miami; Negroni’s Trio ha logrado cautivar al público con sus fusiones de jazz con música clásica y ritmos latinos.
Negroni’s Trio ha actuado en todo mundo. Se ha presentado en festivales de jazz en Estados Unidos y el extranjero, además de dar conciertos en recintos de jazz en Estados Unidos, Japón, España, Italia, Sudamérica, el Caribe, América Latina y el emblemático Blue Note Jazz Club de Nueva York. Con nueve álbumes en su haber y tres nominaciones al Latin GRAMMY® (2005, 2012 y 2015), Negroni’s Trio ha recibido tocadas radiales en más de 600 emisoras de países como Estados Unidos, Japón, España, Argentina, Reino Unido, Grecia, Uruguay, Indonesia y México.
Negroni’s Trio siempre seduce y deleita al público en diferentes continentes, pues toma riesgos con su actuación y su repertorio. El resultado es una combinación de lirismo clásico e improvisaciones innovadoras y sinceras que sacian nuestra sed para jazz de criterio mundial.

NEGRONI’S TRiO
Set To Release Ninth Album,
NEW ERA,
September 8th Via
Sony Music Latin
Genre-bending Album Explores A Multitude of Music which Group
Founder José Negroni Grew Up With and Loves
“Brimming with the South American overtones, this music is a lesson in just
how far Latin jazz has progressed, and where it is going…representing
Negroni’s Trio sense of fresh directions and exploration, continually
evolving its hybrid music.” — All About Jazz
MIAMI (August 28, 2017) – “New Era,” the stunning new album from multiple Latin GRAMMY® nominated Jazz trio Negroni’s Trio sets a new pace for the band in its exploration of multiple musical styles and sounds which have influenced Trio founder José Negroni throughout his life. Produced by José, “New Era” is a departure from their previous eight recordings stylistically and is set for release September 8th via Sony Music Latin. Both domestic and international tour dates will accompany the release.
Negroni’s Trio is made up of José Negroni, Josh Allen and José‘s son, Nomar Negroni. Due to his musical (Jazz) chops, José Negroni worked early in his career as a musical director to many Latin pop artists and at one point even worked atSony ATV Music Publishing. In 2002 he then, along with his son Nomar, decided to form the trio. However, from the very beginning, he was always being directed as to what repertoire to include on their albums. After eight albums, this one being the ninth, he was finally allowed, as he requested, to select all of the repertoires without objections and interference from anyone.
As a music director for other artists and has worked at Sony ATV Pub, José Negroni was exposed to a wide palate of repertoire that afforded him deeper and broader knowledge of multi-genre repertoire. It resulted in Negroni truly broadening his personal list of favorite songs, and this new album is just that – a collection of songs he is passionate about and that he always wanted to record. From reinterpretations of classic Jazz tracks such as “A Train” and “Sweet Georgie Fame” to new takes of pop standards such as “That’s The Way Of The World,” “Sunny” and “Isn’t She Lovely” to the Brazilian and Latin leanings of “El Incomprendido,” “Perfidia” and “Brazilian Love Affair,” Negroni’s Trio traverses the global musical soundscape.
Still keeping to their straight-ahead Jazz trio setting, the trio has embellished the repertoire with electric keyboards throughout the entire album as well as a string quartet. Additionally, there are also four featured guest vocalists on the album, beginning with Cuban songstress Aymée Nuviola performing “Sunny” who provides an Afro-Cuban dose to the track unlike ever heard before. Nuviola most recently played Celia Cruz in the Telemundo/NBC novella “Celia” and she has a long career beginning in Cuba as a vocalist for the world known “Irakere”, which led to eventually developing her own brand and style worldwide as an international artist.
Another guest is the exquisitely talented Brazilian artist and GRAMMY® winner Rose Max. Continually performing around the globe with her husband (the other half of her personal duet), Rose delivers an extremely original interpretation of “Perfidia” in Portuguese.
The third guest vocalist is Pedro Capó also a Sony Music Latin artist. A singer, musician, and actor, Capó performs a song originally written and recorded by his grandfather Latin music legend Bobby Capó. Interesting to note that José Negroni as a young pianist accompanied Pedro’s legendary grandfather to the same song. This time around Negroni along with the younger Capó deliver a version completely unlike the original.
The fourth guest artist is rap/vocalist Lapiz Conciente (Conscious Writer). Lapiz is considered the “Father” of the Dominican Republic rap scene. He raps over the jazz standard “Take the A Train” and gives riding the train/subway a whole new meaning. He raps about the daily hustle and bustle of riding the train and urban living.
Born and raised on the southern coast of Puerto Rico, José Negroni leader and founder of Negroni’s Trio commenced his humble beginnings in the Caribbean. A pianist, composer, and arranger, Negroni combines his original classical style with tantalizing fusions of jazz and Latin rhythms, and his group, Negroni’s Trio equally conveys his musical personality to the many world stages where they have captivated the hearts of so many audiences.
Beginning his career as a music teacher, Negroni fulfilled his early musical years educating young promising talents in the world of music and later developing and strengthening his musical chops as musical director for many Pop Latin artists. Today, years later, teaching and mentoring still continue to be part of his daily life as he continues to find the space to devote time between concert tours in order to give back to the music education community.
Together with his son and protégé Nomar Negroni, an incredibly talented drummer with precise vigor, a flair for showmanship, and a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, and Josh Allen, graduate from the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, a supremely talented bass player providing the drive for the melodies and groove, the Negroni’s Trio has been able to mesmerize audiences with their unique brand of jazz that fuses classical and Latin rhythms.
Negroni’s Trio has performed all throughout the globe on stages that include many U.S. and international Jazz festivals as well as numerous key Jazz venues throughout the United States, Japan, Spain, Italy, South America, the Caribbean, Latin America and New York’s world famous Blue Note Jazz Club. With a catalog of 8 albums and 3 Latin Jazz GRAMMY® Nominations (2005, 2012 & 2015), Negroni’s Trio always seduces and entertains their audiences across the continents. The music of Negroni’s Trio receives airplay in more than 600 radio stations worldwide that include the U.S., Japan, Spain, Argentina, England, Greece, Uruguay, Indonesia, and Mexico.
Negroni’s Trio always seduces and entertains their audiences across the continents by taking musical risks with performance and repertoire, and the result is an array of classic lyricism mixed with innovative and sincere improvisations that quenches their audience’s thirst for world class Jazz and beyond.
