SUMMARY:Richie Goods / Chien Chien  “Connected”
DESCRIPTION:“CONNECTED” was formed in 2020. During the COVID-19 lockdown\, Richie Goods and Chien Chien had frequent conversations about the Black Lives Matter movement and the unwarranted hate crimes against Asians. They decided to do a project that would unify people and invoke imagery of love and peace. As often happens\, music was the catalyst that bridged the gap and resulted in a rare collaboration; a partnership that produced “The Path” Sep. 2020\, “We Three Kings” Nov. 2020\, and “Rain” Dec. 2021. They decided to cement their musical relationship by creating “CONNECTED”\, Together\, Richie and Chien Chien create an exciting\, new\, energetic listening experience and attract new audiences everywhere. Their new release\, “Richie Goods & Chien Chien – CONNECTED” was released January 13 2023 and has been on the jazz week charts for 12 weeks. \nCrazy as it seems\, somehow during the shutdown we felt more free and inspired to create. Through all the chaos and violence\, we wanted to do a project that would unify people and invoke imagery of love and peace. We realized one of our pieces\, Donnie Hathaway’s “Someday We’ll All Be Free” does just that. It speaks of freedom and balance. \nWe believe we all share one energy\, one connection. \nXOXO\, Richie & Chien \n“Rarely does an album come about that defines an era but Connected is one such album. As Billie Holiday gave us Strange Fruit and Gil Scott Heron gave us Small Talk at 125th & Lenox\, Richie Goods and Chien Chien’s Connected is a musical historical landmark for our time.” — Andromeda Turre (Sirius Xm real jazz host)

Today\, with eleven CDs as bandleader and more than forty as arranger/producer\, he is regarded by peers and critics as one of the most outstanding and unique composers in the Tango-Jazz field\, a musical language which blends Argentine tango and folk with jazz and other contemporary music styles. He has performed all around Europe\, Japan\, the US and Latin America to rave reviews in many of the most important jazz houses and festivals\, such as Bim Huis\, Lincoln Center\, Marciac\, Blue Note\, Fasching and more. \nSolla moved to New York in 2006\, and since then he has composed for\, recorded and toured with Paquito D’Rivera\, Arturo O’Farrill\, Edmar Castañeda\, Cristina Pato and many others jazz and classical music greats\, besides performing regularly with his different projects at the Jazz Standard\, Jazz at Lincoln Center and Birdland. Former members of his bands include jazz stars Donny Mc Caslin\, Omer Avital\, Jorge Rossy\, Jeff Ballard and more. \nHe continues to tour Europe and the US while working as a free-lance arranger and pianist in different projects in NY. His NY based quintet Bien Sur! released its first CD in 2010 with special guest Billy Hart. This album was included in the Best of 2010 list by Downbeat Magazine. Since November 2010\, he is leading a nine piece orchestra\, La Inestable de Brooklyn\, featuring some of the strongest jazz players in NYC. Their first CD\, Second Half (2015) was Nominated for a Grammy Award as Best Latin Jazz Album. In November 2014 Solla’s first symphonic work had its World Premiere at the Palau de la Musica\, during the Barcelona Jazz Festival and its US Premier at the Chicago Symphony Hall. 2017 took him back to Buenos Aires for the Premiere of the symphonic version of his Suite Piazzollana. In 2018\, he started composing for a new project\, the Tango Jazz Orchestra\, a 17-piece big band\, taking his blend of Latin American sounds and jazz to a whole new level of accomplishment. This orchestra released its first album\, “Puertos” on August 28\, 2019. This album won the Latin Grammy 2020 for Best Jazz Album and one of Solla’s compositions\, La Novena\, was awarded a Grammy Nomination in 2019 as Best Instrumental Arrangement. \nThe Tango Jazz Orchestra (TJO) is Emilio’s most ambitious project to date. A full 17-piece jazz orchestra which replaces the guitar by a bandoneon. This large ensemble has allowed Solla to take his blend of tango and Latin American music with jazz to a whole new level of accomplishment. The orchestra recorded and released its first work\, “Puertos\, Music of International Waters” in 2019. One of Solla’s compositions was nominated that same year for a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement (sharing the honor with Vince Mendoza\, John Williams and Jacob Collier) and the full album was awarded the 2020 Latin Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album.
