Muse Kaleidoscope

Argentinean musician Pablo Embon has spent a majority of his life studying, playing and composing music. His innate abilities and education led him very quickly to being able to play the guitar and piano as his primary instruments. From there, his continued growth as a musician brought him into the world of jazz and jazz fusion in which he also began to compose original, alternative pieces. Between 2004 and 2009, Embon released nine albums worth of his jazz compositions, ranging from smooth and solo piano, to orchestral with classical influences. His latest release is 2012's Muse Kaleidoscope; a rich collection of twelve jazz instrumentals that demonstrate Embon's ability to perform and create in entertaining fashion. Pablo Embon displays a great deal of talent for performance and composition on Muse Kaleidoscope. With twelve songs that average out to around five minutes plus, there's no shortage of material to listen to either. Embon strikes a good balance between complexity and accessibility with a record that doesn't take itself to the extremes of long-winded improvisations but instead focuses on tight, structured performances, that don't skimp on taking chances either.
