During this time he performed as a jazz pianist at major jazz festivals around the world, sharing stages with such outstanding musicians as Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock, Michel Legrand, Wynton Marsalis and many others. Hilario has worked as musical arranger, producer and pianist on many recordings with a variety of artists in Cuba and abroad. When Arturo Sandoval left Cuba, Hilario began his own group and truely came into his own. In 1991 he joined Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Frank Emilio on Jane Bunnett's Juno Award winning CD "Spirits of Havana". I would like to thank Jane Bunnett and Larry Cramer for the great support that they gave me and their entire help in making my record possible. My thanks to Jim West for trusting me to perform in this project. Thanks to Sarah Bunnett-Gibson for her patience and dedication, to Thompson Highway for letting me use his own piano generously, to Chucho Valdés for the support and help throughout all my professional career. Also thanks to Alain Caron for offering all his talent on this record, to Sonny Greenwich for the possibility of working together, and to Denis Cadieux and Ian Terry for their great ears. I dedicate this album to the memory of Emiliano Salvador and all the pianists in Cuba, and to all the Cuban musicians to keep maintaining their roots all over the world. Hilario Durán Hilario Duran es un excelente pianista además de ser un compositor y orquestador de primer órden. Este CD es una muestra de su brillantez, originalidad y talento creativo. Disfruten de este formidable CD interpretado por uno de los más grandes pianistas cubanos del siglo XX.. Chucho Valdés |
