It’s typical of the singular vision that Cuban-born pianist and composer David Virelles has lately revealed to an awestruck jazz world that he should pack a recording with sonic potential – all kinds of keyboards, electronics, vocals, percussion, the legendary Henry Threadgill on sax – and only make 22 minutes of music with it.

Antenna is a six-track EP, released on vinyl and digital download, going deeper into Virelles’s fascination with his homeland’s traditional rhythms and rituals, while sketching their contemporary resonances in electronics and street-grooves. Threadgill’s yearning alto glimmers through bleepy synths and bleary cello slurs on Water, Bird Headed Mistress, while the jump-cutting Threshold flickers past birdsong, free-improv wriggles, brusque vocal chatters and raw electric guitar chords. Vocal chants, as if from distant radios, are prodded by hip-hop drums and turn into Latin raps, and though the leader’s formidable jazz piano gifts surface only briefly (in the dark and stalking final track), they take their apposite place in an astonishing series of paintings in contemporary sound.
