	E.J.N. - GONZALO RUBALCABA TRIO
		A Duke Ellington staple, "Caravan", which Rubalcaba calls the Latin jazz "anthem", penned by the great Puerto Rican composer and Ellington trombonist, Juan Tizol, is buoyed by Berroa's straight-ahead and Afro-Caribbean drumwork, Chambers' deep-toned bass solo and Rubalcaba's percussive and pointillistic pianisms.
		For Gonzalo Rubalcaba, the ability to easily interweave musical idioms is a by-product of the long presence of American jazz on Cuban soil.
		With the approach of a new century in a new country, Gonzalo Rubalcaba stands poised to create a musical language that is hemispheric in its scope and heroic in its conception.

	Especiales. Gonzalo Rubalcaba
		Poco importaba si era buena o mala, el caso es que tanto críticos como seguidores habituales hablaban de un disco en que el pianista Gonzalo Rubalcaba registraba un cambio de estilo, una nueva actitud de aproximación a la música: de inquieto acróbata del teclado a imperturbable patriarca de la serenidad.

	CD Review of Gonzalo Rubalcaba - Supernova on Blue Note @ jazzreview.com
		Gonzalo Rubalcaba is releasing his seventh in a string of Blue Note albums--due in no small part to the perseverance of Blue Note president Bruce Lundvall.
		While Rubalcaba’s music involves elements of jazz--and while Berroa wants to make clear that he’s a jazz drummer and not a Latin percussionist--Rubalcaba is steeped from beginning to end in the tradition of Cuban music in its many forms.
		Rubalcaba’s composition, “The Hard One,” certainly is exactly that, as the piano rumbles in metrical unpredictability, even as the pulse of its percussiveness holds together the feel of the work with instantaneous perceptibility.

		Rubalcaba leads his Trio with a beating foot against the floor, always in focus, and should be proud of the well-rehearsed performance that I thoroughly enjoyed on Saturday night.
		Rubalcaba played with dynamic dexterity, his fingers dancing across the keyboard, commanding the piano to come alive with the sounds of the heart and soul of jazz.

	CD Review of Gonzalo Rubalcaba - Solo on Blue Note @ jazzreview.com
		Don't let the title of Gonzalo Rubalcaba's latest disc, Solo, fool you, this is a deep, complex recording that's rich with layers and nuance.
		It all starts out with the quick and breezy Rubalcaba original, "Rezo (Praise Be)." Clocking it at just over a minute and a half, the selection makes for a nice, subdued introduction to the record, and lays the groundwork for the pianist's solo style.
		Through it all, Rubalcaba's piano carries the disc with a light, breezy ease that's surprising, especially given all of the slow selections on Solo.

		Rubalcaba is, unmistakably, a product of Cuba's serious classical-music pedagogy.) The self-control is palpable on the American standard "Here's That Rainy Day," and his own "Rezo," based on a chant from the Afro-Cuban Santeria religion.
		Rubalcaba plays a lot of jazz-related harmony here, with little American-style swing rhythm.
		Gonzalo was a fantastic pianist and good performer.

		One of the most visible figures on the Afro-Cuban jazz scene, Gonzalo Rubalcaba is anything but a straightforward revivalist.
		In Rubalcaba's compositions one can hear Cuban forms ("El Guerrillero" is rooted in the son) and nods to North American jazz (one recognizes the influence of Miles Davis's early electric period, especially when--as on "Paseo Con Fula"-- Rubalcaba plays the electric keyboards).
		PASEO is testament to the fact that Rubalcaba is responsible for some of the best jazz of the early 2000s.

	Gonzalo Rubalcaba : Imagine - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Rubalcaba has limitless technique and (even with its touches of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea) a sound of his own.
		His lyrical rendition of "Imagine" is a highlight as is the eccentric "Contagio" and a melancholy exploration of "Perfidia." Of Rubalcaba's sidemen, electric bassist Felipe Cabrera's very active accompaniment recalls Jaco Pastorius, drummer Julio Barreto is fine in support and trumpeter Reynaldo Melian is a virtuoso with a rather cold sound.
		All in all, this is a fine all-round set by Gonzalo Rubalcaba that is full of complex ideas and subtle surprises.~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

	Gonzalo Rubalcaba — Paseo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The mood swings are gradual and the material flows despite the change in vibe from Cuban traditional melodies to abstract structured, but robust improvisations around original material.
		Rubalcaba’s regular Cuban trio with Armando Gola on electric bass and flawless drummer, Ignacio Berroa, is augmented by Cuban Luis Felipe Lamoglia on soprano, alto, and tenor saxophones who, truthfully, steals the show.
		As usual, Rubalcaba employs gorgeous melodies and combines them with rampant polyrhythms.
