Don’t miss Cuban jazz pianist Harold Lopez-Nussa at Dazzle this month

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:32:10 GMT

There’s a lot of live music to dig into for November, including a recent discovery who is helping to redefine Latin jazz.The Cuban expatriate pianist and composer Harold Lopez-Nussa has just released his first album after leaving the country of his birth, and “Timba A La Americana” (Blue Note) is genuinely invigorating. Lopez-Nussa, who will bring his quartet to the new Dazzle location on Nov. 18, is simultaneously flashy and purposeful in his playing.His performances on this disc absolutely pay homage to the Latin jazz masters who appeared before him, but the production (from Snarky Puppy’s Michael League) has contemporary flourishes and touches of electronic sounds to remind us this was conceived in the 2020s. More often than not, the results on “Timba” point in the direction of an accessible brand of fusion.Cuban jazz pianist Harold Lopez-Nussa poses for a photograph in Havana, on May 9, 2019.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:32:10 GMT

The only Colorado winery using a special Californian grape won the top honors at the Colorado Governor’s Cup wine awards.Alfred Eames Cellars, located at Puesta del Sol Vineyards three miles south of Paonia, won Best in Show on Nov. 4, for its 2019 Carmena. The wine beat 11 other contenders that participated in the 2023 Governor’s Cup Collection.Carmena is made from the Carmine grape, which Dr. Harold Olmo of the University of California- Davis developed in 1946 by crossing Cabernet Sauvignon with Carignane, a common blending grape in southern France and Spain, and that grape was then crossed with Merlot. The variety produces full-bodied, tannic red wines in cooler climate regions, like Colorado.

Rocky Mountain National Park wants to make reservation system permanent

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:32:10 GMT

A long-range planning process, which is expected to result in timed-entry reservations becoming permanent at Rocky Mountain National Park during peak visitation months, is entering its final stages, as officials hold public meetings and solicit public comment as part of an environmental assessment of the proposal.The plan is necessary “to provide day-use visitor access in a way that protects resources while creating opportunities for high-quality visitor experiences,” park officials said in a statement. A permanent reservation system is needed, they argue, because the park saw a 44% increase in visitation from 2012 to 2019. But since a “pilot” timed-entry reservation system was introduced in 2020, those numbers have leveled off.“Rapid growth in day-use visitation and changing use patterns in the park have degraded natural and cultural resources, diminished quality of the visitor experience, increased visitor and staff safety concerns, and created a heav...
