Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio / Autumn Leaves (1991)

[@jimmyriv]

con mucho respeto, pienso que en el cerebro reside el conocimiento, la teoria y la tecnica, pero el tiempo y las emociones residen en el alma y el corazon. Para mi Rubalcaba lo tiene todo, lo que pasa es que nos parece increible que sea tan impecable, y a veces no alcanzamos a entender tanto virtuosismo.

[@SuperAlexacuna]

Talent is not enough - every talented person will know that to be good in his craft has to develop it by practicing the gift God gave him! We were doing the concerts in Rio and he got up early went for a walk had breakfast and then went to the rehearsal room to practice - repetitions makes perfection or maybe closer to it and that is also a virtue!

Unico eres lo mejor entre los mejores unico super hananero y suoet cubano . Muestras la maestria y el talento de una isla que es un imperio musical en este mundo gracias por existir!

Cuban Musicians ! open many doors for Cuban Jazz and many other cuban rhythm in the latin world and internationally ! Cuba has given so much beauty to the world ! Viva el ritmo Cubano

[@weldonrocks1]

I listen to this everyday and this is hands down one of the best performances of autumn leaves

[@eshaibraheem4218]

Fabulous. This man is wonderful: mindblòwing. And GREAT trio.

[@nberrios777]

What is mostly amazing is how they can remember all those changes in style and rhythm, and not miss a beat or note.

[@spawnofscriabintheblackmas7669]

Ya it's pretty insane

[@alexchiquillopianista7048]

CREO QUE ESO SALE EN EL MOMENTO... ASI SON LOS CUBANOS ,,, QUIEN MANDA EN TARIMA ES EL CORAZON.

[@abelizandro3811]

Truly genius

[@brettprice527]

luckily They're not remembering it. that would be impossible probably. They are improvising which is another way of saying "spontaneous composition".. so instant composing playing the things they are hearing in their mind in the moment.. and honestly maybe some stuff they aren't hearing considering the blistering speed.

[@nancyeckroad-haney7309]

​@@brettprice527 When US jazz musicians started traveling to Cuba, they were amazed at the excellent technical, virtuosity, and musical knowledge Cuban musicians possessed. Then they discovered that Russia had sent their cream of music professors who prepared and trained Cuban musicians in all aspects of the musical spectrum. The best musical training on the face of the earth at that time by Russian masters. Wonderful.

[@SuperAlexacuna]

Inspiration!!!! Maybe lots of people don't know that he is an amazing drummer and a classical percussionist...a well train musician...really!

[@DYNODRUM]

Alex Hola-That explains His versatile acumen , attack ,sophistication and understanding of rythyms and .......Thanks.

[@michaelalang6676]

Alex!!! He is outrageously uplifting! xo m

[@danidrumsguate]

Jack Dejohnette on drums,, and Jhon Patitucci, both amazing musicians ¡

[@fonsecadrummer3369]

Alex Acuña, así es maestro, Rubalcaba es graduado de percusión de la ENA (escuela nacional de arte en la Havana o como diría Pastorius en Havona) por eso en ciertas partes mas parece que estuviera tocando Drums que piano.

[@cooldebt]

🤯

[@LEONARDSEED]

More supermen, playing super jazz. These new Latin Jazz players are out of sight and the Latin tinged exchanges with Jack are out of this world. of course John is amazing. thanks for this video.

[@davidmehnert6206]

not only is (almost) the entire audience seeing him for the first time, they are hearing his name for the first time

[@enricocampari2012]

ogni volta che ascolto autumn leaves resto affascinato dalla creatività e tecnica di Gonzalo Rubalcaba e anche da John Patitucci

[@jimhendricks88]

Wow --- he either has some extraordinary classical training or is one of the most gifted natural technicians I've ever seen...though I guess both are possible. Thanks for the post!

[@davidsosa538]

Hi #jim Hendrix, during the cold war, a lot of russian music masters were sent to Cuba, not only to teach but also to establish the bases of the musical education program in the island, during that time a lot of kids were trained with the best of the classical russian school, that´s one of the reason why there´s many cuban musicians in jazz (Rubalcaba, Chucho Valdez, Horacio Hernandez... )that have flawless technique...

[@jimhendricks88]

Excellent. Thanks for the info. - Jim

[@UkuleleAversion]

Fascinating.

[@abelphilosophy4835]

Yes, you're right on. He is both. He is virtuoso and studied clasical since he was 9

[@mikedavino2400]

Agreed. And that's Jack DeJohnette! Julio Barreto is the only drummer that has really been able to "play" with Rubalcaba IMHO....
