I've now worked with Eva on two of her previous recordings, and I can say with great assuredness that she sounds like no one else. Everything about Eva’s sound is purely individual.

TRRC Presents Eva Cortés Todas las Voces July 17th Debut Release with All-Star Band! Featuring: Christian McBride, Elio Villafranca, Eric Harland, Doug Beavers, Luisito Quintero, Román Filiú and Luques Curtis!

“My music is nothing but a reflection of what my life has been." Honduran/Spanish singer, songwriter and composer Eva Cortés delivers a revelatory set of flamenco and blues-tinged Latin jazz on her newest record, Todas las Voces. Working for the second time with producer, arranger and trombonist Doug Beavers (Eddie Palmieri, Spanish Harlem Orchestra), Cortés has brought aboard a flight of top-shelf New York musicians for the date, including Christian McBride, Eric Harland, Elio Villafranca, Luisito Quintero, Roman Filiu and Luques Curtis. Weaving together a tapestry of captivating, original compositions and popular Latin American mainstays, Eva Cortés also adds a social footnote by dedicating the song “Desterado/Exiled" to the actual immigrant crisis not only at the Southern border of the U.S. but also as a lover the world.

“I’ve now worked with Eva on two of her previous recordings, and I can say with great assuredness that she sounds like no one else. Everything about Eva’s sound is purely individual. Perhaps most impressive is that she understands who she is, she understands her sound, and she embraces it. I’ve always felt that true individuality is realizing who you are and embracing it. She’s never tried to sound like anyone else. She’s developed a strong beautiful sound that keeps on developing in ways that are incredible. I really enjoy working with her. You are sure to enjoy Todas Las Voces immensely." 
—Christian McBride
