After Rodriguez

Each recording by Cuban pianist and composer Alfredo Rodríguez tells a story. His albums are not collections of musical pieces but tales told in a distinctive voice. His 2011 debut, 'Sounds of Space', served as an introduction to his bold talent. Guests on 'Tocororo' include Ibrahim Maalouf (trumpet), Richard Bona (vocals, electric bass) and Ibeyi (vocals).

The debut album from accomplished and highly respected young jazz multi-instrumentalist Julius Rodriguez. Enrolled at Manhattan School of Music's pre-college division at age 12, he later went on to study at The Julliard School after which he became a member of Onyx Collective - a popular NYC jazz group who has collaborated with members of the Wu Tang Clan and toured with ASAP Rocky.

First official reissue and mastered from the original tapes, "Cold Fact" is one of the lost classics of the '60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in colour and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion, and, of course, "jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane", co-produced by BEASTIE BOYS/MOS DEF sample heavy guitarist Dennis Coffey and featuring legendary Motown players THE FUNK BROS. Some songs of this album were covered by Paolo Nutini & David Holmes.

When a 23-year-old displays such a mature musicality as a pianist, drummer, composer, arranger and bandleader as the American Julius Rodriguez does, he probably has to put up with being called a "child prodigy" from time to time
