Harold López Nussa sits down and performs for Tom Ashbrook. The two discuss his Cuban heritage, his career as a jazz innovator, and his indelible blend of Afro-Cuban roots with the history of the genre. As Ashbrook describes:
“Havana, Cuba is the hometown of jazz pianist and composer Harold López-Nussa. But his music goes very wide. Global. With an African flavor, of course. It’s at the heart of so much Cuban music. But then all over. Latin America. France. The America of Thelonius Monk. And into Cuba’s own rich musical history. It’s beautiful. It’s irresistible. This hour On Point, the Afro-Cuban-Latin-and-more jazz of Harold López-Nussa”
