Gonzalo Rubalcaba Chelsea Bridge

Grammy-winning pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba offers his distinctive take on 12 standards and popular songs on his latest album Borrowed Roses.The new recording is Rubalcaba’s third solo piano album, and his first devoted entirely to the Great American Songbook.The idea for the album was first conceived in 2019, but it was put on hold due to the pandemic. Meanwhile, Rubalcaba recorded and released material on his own record label 5Passion, including Skyline with Ron Carter and Jack DeJohnette, which won the Grammy Award for best instrumental jazz album in 2022, and Live in Marciac with Aymée Nuviola, which won a Latin Grammy that same year. But the idea of the solo piano record was never far from his mind.
