Andando el Tiempo features new music of wide emotional compass by Carla Bley, and underlines her originality and resourcefulness as a jazz composer. “Saints Alive!” sets up animated conversations between the participants with striking statements from Steve Swallow’s bass guitar and Andy Sheppard’s soprano sax. The stately “Naked Bridges/Diving Brides” draws inspiration from Mendelssohn and the poetry of Paul Haines. And the powerful three part title composition – which addresses the trials and tribulations of recovery from addiction - moves through sorrow to hopefulness and joy.

"Andando el tiempo" - the dynamic title is self-explanatory. As time moves on, so does one’s playing; and that has been an impulse behind the artistic development of Gerardo Núñez. He has always been one step ahead. That has brought him the status as a moderniser of flamenco. Gerardo Núñez is never a follower of trends. His work is defined by a strong personality which seeks its expression in flamenco. Gerardo Núñez goes his own way. He does that with a clear understanding and demonstrates it with his six strings.Already with his first release in 1987 "Flamencos en Nueva York" the world of flamenco resounded with an echo like a drum roll.

For over 20 years, the trio of pianist Carla Bley, bassist Steve Swallow, and saxophonist Andy Sheppard have shared each other's creative company.

A follow-up to 2013's equally compelling Trios, Andando el Tiempo is, surprisingly, only the third album from the group after their initial live 1995 album Songs with Legs. Whereas on Trios they delved into various Bley compositions from throughout her career, on Andando el Tiempo they focus on several more recently penned works. "Naked Bridges/Diving Bridges" brings to mind the impressionism of composer Claude Debussy.

En este segundo disco que la clavicembalista y directora valenciana Marian Rosa Montagut y el conjunto Harmonia del Parnàs consagran a rescatar del olvido la obra del veneciano de nacimiento y español de adopción Francesco Corradini (±1690-1769), se nos brinda una selección de arias, algunas con sus recitativos precedentes, tomadas de la “fábula pastoral” La Dorinda, la cual, por iniciativa del capitán general de Valencia, Luis Regio Branciforte (1677-1757), Príncipe de Campoflorido, fue presentada en hoy desaparecido Palacio Real de la ciudad de Turia el 19 de noviembre de 1730 para festejar la onomástica de la reina Isabel de Farnesio (1692-1766), de quién, por cierto, Corradini andando el tiempo acabaría siendo Maestro de Música de Cámara en el Real Sitio de la Granja de San Ildefonso.

When flamenco guitarist Gerardo Nunez puts pen to paper, he usually has only one thing in mind: music. However, when he started working on his newest album “Travesia” (“Crossing”), the long-awaited follow-up to 2004’s “Andando El Tiempo“, he wanted to tell a particular story that had moved him; the story of his friends Ahmed and Khaleb.
