O’s Notes: Pianist, composer and band leader, Arturo O’Farrill and his Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra celebrate the late Carla Bley, O’Farrill’s mentor and a true musical inspiration. Mundoagua is a musical statement supported by liner notes that are highly informative discussing water, our precious resource, Bley, and the Aztec people. The program consists of three section, two composed by Arturo surrounding Bley’s final composition “Blue Palestine”, commissioned by O’Farrill. We liked “Blue Palestine Part Four”, and “Glacial”, the first movement to the title track.
