Pianist, Composer Emilio Teubal Releases New Album: “Futuro”

Emilio Teubal is a pianist, composer, arranger from Argentina based in New York. He has recorded over thirty albums, both as a sideman and as a composer and bandleader, including the 2018 Latin Grammy Winner album Vigor Tanguero by the Pedro Giraudo Group. A prolific composer and arranger, Emilio identifies his artistry and creative search to the music of Latin America and the permanent elasticity of stylistic limits.

NYC based, Argentine pianist, composer Emilio Teubal presents his new recording (his sixth as a leader), entitled Futuro, to be released in February 2023. The title track, and most of the music on the album, was conceived of and composed during the initial lockdown in early 2020 for the newly formed, Emilio Teubal Post-Trio, with Pablo Lanouguere and Chris Michael.

Futuro is reflective of Teubal’s experience during this harrowing, uncertain time, with the added sadness of mourning the loss of his father. The music heard on this album came to life in the studio at the end of 2021 when the Post-Trio was joined by special guests, drummer Brian Adler (replacing Chris Michael who had a strong case of long-covid, and hasn’t recovered since), vibraphonist Chris Dingman, guitarist Fede Diaz, and clarinetist Sam Sadigursky. The resulting album is an eclectic, modern collection of singular music which represents Teubal’s rumination and contemplation about loss, grieving, and of course about the future; his own, and the world’s.
