FEYAS Album Released!
"A dazzling pyrotechnician and accomplished composer... FEYAS: This is one of the most startling and rewarding piano-led debuts since Gonzalo Rubalcaba's 1990 Blue Note offering, Discovery: Live at Montreux."
Bill Milkowski

"Like some of the finest scholarly pianists-composers such as Gonzalo Rubalcaba, to come from way south of the border, Guerrero has exploded on the stage with music of immense maturity.
Guerrero firmly establishes his voice here as he adds to the remarkably growing literature of Latin American instrumental music."
[continue reading...]
"The energetic pianist's Feyas displays a recognized reverence to Powell while also exhibiting self-assurance, technical expedience, and compositional proficiency. He comes out blazing right from the launching track with "Colombia Tierra Querida," followed by a delicious version of Powell's "Un Poco Loco" and then "Hope," which utilizes his country's polyrhythms of bullerengue and porro.
He is well on his way to staking out a claim as one of the rising pianists in contemporary jazz."

"Gabriel Guerrero emerges from the talent-rich jazz environment of New York City as the latest hidden wonder to surface and stake a claim with a brilliant musical statement on FEYAS. A classically-trained pianist, Guerrero draws on a blend of be-bop, Latin, Colombian and other rhythms, contributing seven originals and borrowing two covers in producing this project."
