Alay CD (2006)
 $18.99
"Victor Noriega's second release 'Alay' rises way above most of today's jazz recordings with a unique concept and expert craftsmanship. The Filipino folk song Bahay Kubo (Nipa Hut) goes fully modern in this unconventional interpretation. ALAY (meaning offering) fuses the traditional and the modern using a variety of textures and colors. Pandangguhan, a traditional rural dance, is re-created in layers of distinct and contrasting musical themes. The result is a uniquely imaginative musical experience. Kuya (Older Brother), an original composition, captures the personality and character of his late beloved cousin — playful, gregarious, loving and hopeful. He is clearly an artist to watch." --Gordon Todd / KBCSVictor Noriega’s inventive stylings of selected Filipino songs in his new album, ALAY, pay homage to both the music of Victor’s heritage and the American jazz tradition. Harana (Serenade) is a composition by Victor’s great-uncle, the late Emilio Maraan, composer, award-winning band conductor and a long-time member of the Manila Symphony Orchestra. Victor’s arrangement of Bayan Ko (My Country) is an almost cinematic, evocative rendering of this song, one of the most cherished in the Philippines. By introducing Filipino songs into a jazz context, Noriega pushes the jazz envelope and follows tradition at the same time. Interspersed throughout the album are four original interludes inspired by paintings by Lee Añonuevo, Victor’s uncle. (Do You Remember?) and Saan ka man naroroon (Wherever You Are), both Philippine standards, are joyous and delightful musings. In Victor’s hands, the touching melodies of Maalaala mo kaya? Dahil Sa Iyo (Because of You), a popular Filipino love song, is completely transformed through intricate rhythms and complex harmonies.

Stone's Throw CD (2006)
$18.99
"Stone's Throw is an impressive debut recording from a pianist and composer of considerable talent. Noriega's tunes crackle with individuality, making it clear that his ambitions reside in innovation not imitation.Introspective at times, energetic and boundary-stretching at others, these tunes seamlessly blend jazz and modern classical influences, expertly rendered by Noriega and his trio.
