O’s Notes: Spanish trumpeter, vocalist, and composer Alba Careta assembles a quintet for Teia, a fresh set of original and traditional Catalan music. Teia is a type of wood that burns easily, and this ensemble is up to the title! Alba’s vocals are bathed by the sax of Lucas Martinez on “Un Núvol Blanc”, and she pairs with bassist Giuseppe Campisi on “A Voltes En El Cor”. The upbeat instrumentals are enticing as well notably “Fortes” and “Bruixes”.
