For pianist and composer Eva Novoa, music, improvisation and choosing the right players is her mission, her purpose and goal in life. Based in Brooklyn, New York since 2012, she explores each project or set up and musical occasion with deep curiosity, freedom, boldness and trust. For this project, she works the format of the piano trio experimenting in all its essence and sonorous profundity inspired by all the great masters and all time favorite trios, in her own personal universe and musical references. 

Eva Novoa is joined by her longtime friend and collaborator Masa Kamaguchi on bass -with whom she has worked with since 2010- and extraordinaire drummer Gerald Cleaver, in the format of a perfect trio. She has performed live with this trio since 2017 in New York City. Novoa / Kamaguchi / Cleaver Vol.1 presents an album of melodic density, contrapuntal conversations, a free interplay of rich textures and great masterly improvisation presenting a unique piano trio. This album marks Eva Novoa’s ‘debut’ on 577 Records. It will be available on vinyl, digitally and as a CD on April 14, 2023, and will be shortly followed by a planned Volume 2.
