Edsel Gomez: Jazz Musician in New York

About Edsel Gomez

Edsel Gomez is a Puerto Rican pianist whose work moves between jazz improvisation and Latin rhythm, often in a small-group setting. He received a 2007 Grammy nomination for his contributions to the album *Cubist Music* and later served as arranger and musical director on Dee Dee Bridgewater’s Grammy-winning Billie Holiday project. In New York City, he leads the Edsel Gomez Latin Jazz Trio at Arthur’s Tavern, where the music leaves room for open, free-leaning interplay. His performances favor structure and pulse over display.
