{"product_id":"felipe-arce_expansion_2025","title":"Expansion","description":"Felipe Arce is an Argentine bassist, composer, arranger, and teacher. After several years at the highest level of the South American jazz scene, he settled in Brooklyn, New York, in April 2023. It was in this city that Expansión, his first album as a leader, was conceived. Felipe Arce's journey in New York began in turmoil: waves of uncertainty crashing against the walls of a city as beautiful as it is ruthless. \u003cbr\u003e Between countless moves and gigs of all kinds, he found himself in the company of other artists and immigrants, each carrying their own dreams, doubts, and an unshakable nostalgia for the lands they had left behind. It was within this chosen family – his tribe, as he calls them – that Felipe found his true home, far beyond any physical space he occupied. Their energy, their relentless desire to be heard amid the city's incessant din, set the tone for Expansión. Among the people who accompanied Felipe in the creation of this album are his Argentine compatriots – Sergio Wagner, Leo Genovese, Mario Scaramuzza and Luis Bacqué – as well as the Italians Daniele Germani and Andrea Niccolai. \u003cbr\u003e This group of friends and world-renowned musicians came together to capture the essence of Felipe's vision with pure, unfiltered emotion. In just six hours of recording at Bacque Recording (Roselle Park, New Jersey), they breathed life into each composition, transforming raw emotions into sound – a sincere and powerful reflection of the journey that brought them all here. This debut album is more than a collection of compositions: it is a sonic reflection on movement, searching, and creating a space of belonging. It lives in the in-between: between Buenos Aires and Brooklyn, between tradition and reinvention, between expansion and turning inward.","brand":"Felipe Arce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58573317079384,"sku":null,"price":23490404.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/8427328437042.jpg?v=1790462420","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/felipe-arce_expansion_2025","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
