ELECTRO-JAZZ LEADER VOLCANO RADAR RELEASES PAQUITO LIBRE, THE BAND’S DELMARK RECORDS DEBUT

New album features 14-time Grammy Award winner Paquito D’Rivera

CHICAGO (October 2018) – U.S.A.’s leading blues & jazz record label Delmark Records releases PAQUITO LIBRE by Volcano Radar, an experimental jazz quartet led by jazz/noise/avant musicians Elbio Barilari and Julia A. Miller, marking the ensemble’s debut with the label. The album features multi-Grammy Award-winning reeds virtuoso Paquito D’Rivera and keyboardist Darwin Noguera. PAQUITO LIBRE is currently available for instant download at https://delmark.com.

From PAQUITO LIBRE’s descriptive notes by award-winning critic and author Howard Mandel:

“Paquito D’Rivera is both as free and as embedded as can be with Volcano Radar, the explosive, expansive, radiant electro-acoustic ensemble, co-led by multi-instrumentalist Elbio Barilari and guitarist/synthesist Julia A. Miller throughout ‘Paquito Libre.’ With keyboardist Darwin Noguera, electric bassist Rollo Radford, and drummer/percussionist Ernie Adams collaborating in the creation of a vivid yet mysterious, story-swept yet openly improvised soundscapes D’Rivera – and acclaimed chamber music composer – engages fully as a member of a unique ensemble making music that flows from an immediate moment, but as captured by recording, resounds. Barilari and Miller are every bit as responsive to collaboration and cross-genre affiliations as D’Rivera. Having worked for four years with Radford, a veteran of Sun Ra’s Arkestra and tours with jazz/blues/R&B artists from Dinah Washington to the Neville Brothers, the Volcano Radar principles regard him as a regular.”

 ABOUT VOLCANO RADAR

Volcano Radar is a fusion of ecstatic improvisational energy and Apollonian intellect.  A power quartet fueled by dual free jazz/noise/avant guitarists Elbio Barilari and Julia A. Miller, Volcano Radar moves fluently through a stylistic range from noise-funk improvisation to structured sonic forms.

Uruguayan born multi-instrumentalist and composer Elbio Barilari and American guitarist and composer Julia A. Miller played together for the first time in 2012, and they made their first public appearance as Volcano Radar shortly after. Their soundscapes have been described as: noise-funk, post-jazz, avant-rock, improvised experimental music, jazz-electronica and neo-psychedelia.

Volcano Radar has been joined in recordings and performances by Fareed Haque and Mathgames!;  Edward Wilkerson Jr., reeds; Jim Gailloreto, reeds;  Guillermo Gregorio, reeds;  Alejandro Acierto, reeds; Harrison Bankhead, bass/cello;  Rollo Radford, electric bass; Yosef Ben Israel, bass;  Tatsu Aoki, bass; Avreeayl Ra, drums;  Tim Davis, drums; Ernie Adams, drums;  Lou Ciccotelli, drums & percussion; Frank Rosaly, percussion; Gustavo Leone, synthesizer;  Andy Cohn, keyboards;  Axiom Brass quintet; Andrea Centazzo, percussion & electronics;  and Giancarlo Schiaffini, trombone.
