  Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA - Marsalis Music (distributed by
Rounder Records) releases this week the album Jíbaro by Miguel Zenón.
Jíbaro is Zenón's second Marsalis Music release. The Puerto Rican musician
makes his most deeply rooted yet visionary statement to date. The new disc
explores the rural music of Zenón’s native Puerto Rico through his ten original
compositions that both honor and expand upon the tradition with its unique sense
of organization and form.
The jazz world got to know Miguel Zenón quite well in 2004. The young alto
saxophonist/composer expanded his already impressive sideman résumé with
featured roles in the San Francisco Jazz Collective and Charlie Haden’s
Liberation Music Orchestra. He also captivated numerous listeners with his
heralded Marsalis Music debut,
Ceremonial.
