Album lore

Eros unites the trumpet of Paolo Fresu with the piano of Omar Sosa, issued on Tuk Music in April 2016. Across thirteen tracks, the duo weaves threads from cool jazz and ambient jazz with Afro-Cuban and Brazilian rhythms, reflecting Sosa's Cuban heritage and Fresu's Sardinian roots. The album’s delicate interplay invokes a restrained lyricism, with moments like "Sensuousness" revealing a subtle balance of warmth and space.Recorded as a dialogue between two seasoned improvisers, the record eschews bombast for intimacy, drawing on Latin jazz and axé influences while touching on Japanese classical motifs. Eros stands as a modest but resonant entry in the catalog of cross-cultural jazz collaborations, where restraint and nuance prevail over virtuoso display.
