Don Byron stammt aus der Bronx, New York. Aruán Ortiz ist in Santiago de Cuba aufgewachsen. In New York haben sich die beiden getroffen. Byron, der weltbekannte Klarinettist, der für die Labels Nonesuch und Blue Note erfolgreiche Platten aufgenommen hat, lud den jüngeren Pianisten in seine Quartett ein. Dann kam es zu einer Duo-Europatournee und auf Einladung von Intakt Records zu Aufnahmen in Zürich.
Photos: Jimmy Katz Ortiz, who grew up in Santiago, Cuba, and has lived in the U. S. since 2002, is among the most creative pianists on jazz's landscape. As a boy he was performing Cuban popular music. His studies broadened to include jazz, first in Europe, finally New York, where he now lives.
