Put that alongside soulful and reflective grooves and you’ve got a smorgasbord of musical favour AvataarĪvataar is an award-winning world-jazz group featuring a cohort of some of Toronto’s finest jazz, world, funk, and pop musicians. Their fourth full-length album, Stir Crazy, features the high intensity New Orleans-style brass playing and virtuosity that has been a staple of the band since its inception. For his latest recording, Luz, Rodriguez is heard on six-string E-bass, his fretless E-bass and the standard string bass, contributing four of the ten selections, and arranging all of the music. Rodriguez has spent important periods living and playing music in Cuba, Venezuela and (since 2001) the United States.
