Info for Ride to Heaven

"Ride To Heaven" — this album title is to be taken literally, as this album will be transported to the moon as part of NASA's Artemis II mission. Andrés Coll, born in Ibiza in 2000, is a versatile marimba player and pianist who combines a sharp and broad musical sensibility, virtuoso technique, and a stoic commitment to his art. Coll began as a member of a local folk group and has evolved into an inquisitive musician and composer, exploring themes such as folklore, Bach, contemporary music, modern jazz, and free improvisation. He is featured on the album by jazz legend Joachim Kühn and has established himself as a new voice in European jazz. His Cosmic Trio, consisting of COLL (electric marimba, piano, castanets), Mateusz Smoczynski (violin, baritone violin), and Ramon Lopez (drums, tabla), skillfully combines tradition and improvisation, making everything sound so effortless, as if this sound and this unusual lineup had been around forever. COLL himself describes this jazz/world music/etc. mix as "avant-groove," which perfectly captures the captivating and exciting sound of the nine album tracks. Oh yes, it grooves, but it's not always easy—and probably isn't meant to be. Music for both heart and mind, music that demands your full attention—but it's well worth it.
