Bill Daughtry for WBGO – Pianist Harold López-Nussa opens a busy week in the Northeast tonight and Wednesday at Jazz Standard in New York City. His trio is out and about to promote their new album, Un Día Cualquiera (Just Another Day).
With his younger brother, drummer Ruy Adrián López-Nussa, and bassist Gaston Joya — all natives of Havana, Cuba — Harold stopped by to play on today’s edition of Afternoon Jazz. It is an infectious, passionate and joyful sound produced by this trio. It’s one you will enjoy, and one that will also be heard this Sunday, when the Harold López-Nussa Trio makes its debut at the Newport Jazz Festival.
