Miguel De Armas, the Ottawa based and Cuban born pianist has brought together a powerful and energetic style and at times ideas seem to be flying out from under his fingers almost more quickly than he can fully process them. With the help of a rhythm team (bassist Marc Decho, drummer Michel Medrano and Arien Villegas on Congas) he manages to keep his feet on the ground and generate lots of inspiring moments during their performance.

Tasty and head turning musical arrangements of the classic Jazz standards, Cuban traditional music as well as from his own, are definitely heating up a bit the Ottawa music scene.
