”Bob Aves has developed a personal and artistic aesthetic in his compositions and ensemble performance that expresses transcendence and cultural interaction. He connects the traditional and contemporary music cultures of Philippine/Southeast Asia to it’s South Asian roots, Philippine Spanish and American musical legacies, in a style that honors their heritage and charts a new musical experience....”  The Bob Aves ensemble is a Philippine-jazz concept group that explores the deeper dimension of interactions between its Southeast Asian and Western musical heritage. It seeks to establish a third identity that draws from the two idioms, embodying both the spirit of indigenous traditions and of contemporary jazz. All-Filipino ReCORD LABEL DEDICATED TO PROMOTING PHILIPPINE TRADITIONAL MUSIC AND FILIPINO-WORLD MUSIC
