Juan Andrés Ospina publishes his CD “BBB: Barcelona, Bogotá, Boston” in 2009. The music of the album compilates original pieces that Ospina composed during his years in the three cities that give name to the album, in which he combines elements from the jazz idiom (such as the improvisation, the instrumentation and the harmonic language) with more traditional ones taken from Colombian styles such as the cumbia, the pasillo and the bambuco. The repertoire has been requested for educational purposes from institutions such as the NEC (New England Conservatory), the Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá, Colombia), Berklee College of Music and the UNT (University of North Texas), and legendary saxophist Paquito D´Rivera included one of the pieces of the album into the repertoire he currently performs with his quintet.
