On this episode, we talk with Argentina-born, New York-based pianist, composer, and bandleader Emilio Solla. A Latin GRAMMY Award winner and six-time GRAMMY nominee, Emilio dives into his 2026 album Handmade — a powerful statement on the value of human creativity in an age of artificial convenience. More than just a collection of songs, the album serves as a manifesto for the handmade, celebrating artistry, intention, and the human touch in music-making. On his 15th release, he is joined by his nine-piece ensemble, La Inestable de Brooklyn, blending tango, Latin American traditions, jazz, and classical influences into a rich and forward-thinking sound. In this conversation, we explore the inspiration behind Handmade, his creative process, and his journey as a globally recognized jazz artist shaping modern music. 👉 Get the album & learn more: https://emiliosolla.com/handmade/ 🎷 Neon Jazz brings you in-depth conversations with top jazz musicians from around the world.
