Of Filipino descent, the expressive keyboardist, vocalist, and composer Flip Nuez enjoyed a varied career in jazz. After backing Bev Kelly, Jon Hendricks, and others in the 1960s, Nuez impacted in the Latin jazz-rock act Azteca. The marvellous 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 Nuezs piano and synthesizer flourishes, bolstered by his emotive voice. A lost classic, and one that sounds better with every spin.
