"Feyas" is the result of several years of searching and studying. It showcases 7 original compositions and 2 arrangements; one of Lucho Bermudez piece "Colombia Tierra Querida" and Be-bop pianist/composer Bud Powell's "Un Poco Loco" performed here with a "Chande" rhythm from Colombia.
The album offers different textures and colors, with airs from Colombian Bullerengue, Porro, Chande, as well as contemporary jazz compositions. The CD features different line up of musicians including Gabriel Guerrero Trio with Eric Doob-drums, and Jorge Roeder-bass, plus Samuel Torres on Percussion; it also featured Jerry Bergonzi - tenor, Bruce Gertz - bass, Tim Horner - drums, Karina Colis - drums among others.
The disc also features a tribute song "Charlie" for the late Charlie Banacos, legendary jazz educator who passed away 2009.
This record is an organic piece of music done with honesty and featuring world renown musicians.
"Guerrero blends classical with modern, striking a perfect balance"
"Gabiel Guerrero gives the listening audience superb piano stylings"
- Jazz Review
"Gabriel Guerrero brings fresh ideas to his music, he says, When I think he is going left he goes right and when I think he is going right he goes left. He always surprises me, which I love. He brings his Latin Culture to the music in his own inventive way. He is a real improviser."
- Jerry Bergonzi
"Guerrero turns on the warmth with his deeply etched textures, his phrases are long and deep, yet fluid.”
"Gabriel is an intelligent player"
