Of Filipino descent, the expressive keyboardist, vocalist, and composer Flip Nu√±ez enjoyed a varied career in jazz. After backing Bev Kelly, Jon Hendricks, and others in the 1960s, Nu√±ez impacted in the Latin jazz-rock act Azteca. The marvelous My Own Time And Space, his only solo album, showcases his versatility; the Latin cadences of Willie Colon and former Santana bassist Tom Rutley and the keen jazz phrasings of guitarist Michael Howell and drummer Vince Lateano make superb backing for Nu√±ez’s piano and synthesizer flourishes, bolstered by his emotive voice. A lost classic, and one that sounds better with every spin.
