Niebla

New Album Out Now!

“…a joyous journey through Latin bomba rhythm and the intricate ensemble sound of his six-piece group, reaching a peak on the spirited traded solos of the title track.”
Ammar Kalia, The Guardian

“Niebla translates to “fog,” translating in musical terms here to a poetic, questioning frame of mind. The album is an artful adventure of both the introspective and tastefully blowing kind.”
Josef Woodard, DownBeat ★★★★

“Consistently unpredictable, often vertiginous… and ambitious through and through.”
Eric Snider, JazzTimes

“Niebla is a serious, uncompromising artistic statement. Admirers of exploratory jazz and diasporic experimentation will find much to unpack.”
Mike Gates, UK Vibe

"Invite this music into your regular life… your home will be the better for it.”
Graham Reid, Elsewhere

“Thoughtful compositions like ‘Vejigante’, ‘900-50-80’… evoke not only Vicéns’ rich cultural heritage but also his hopes for the ongoing process of decolonization, supporting his highly personal, captivating musical and most humane vision.”
Eyal Hareuveni, Salt Peanuts

"With deep command of tone, originality, and risk, Vicéns gets you hooked in contemporary compositions… revealing a composer firmly in control of his evolving artistic voice."
Filipe Freitas, JazzTrail ★★★★

“Niebla is not music that is simply heard with the ears. Rather than merely listening, we feel as though we are existing within the sonic space that Gabriel Vicéns has constructed.”
Tomoyuki Kubo, Jazz Tokyo
