Jorge

Not to be confused by the Cuba-born and American-based architect, Jorge Pardo is one of flamenco's most innovative instrumentalists. Known for his fluid and relaxed approach to the flute and tenor and soprano saxophones, Pardo has been one of the leaders of the "new flamenco" movement. A longtime member of the Paco de Lucia Sextet, Pardo has continued to explore the possibilities of his wind instruments as a soloist. While flamenco remains the foundation for his music, Pardo has developed a unique sound by incorporating elements of jazz and Carbbean and Afro-Cuban rhythms. His album, 10 De Paco, recorded with Cadiz pianist Chano Dominguez, featured guitar-less reinterpretations of ten of de Lucia's compositions.

Jorge Pardo is a musician who needs little introduction, his musical career and the cast of musicians with whom he has touched is simply stunning, it makes your interpretive be extraordinarily open and willing to engage in musical adventures of varying degrees. Within these adventures is his latest recording, stories of Radha and Krishna, a job that has some basis in Hindu culture (specifically the mythology of love between Radha and Krishna) but raised with bases and electronic sequences, and even scratch body; an approach where the groove and rhythm take over the role of the album from start to finish. All this cast of sounds are interspersed with two languages ​​that Pardo knows and dominates to perfection, as a primary source flamenco and jazz.

The music scene in the 40s and 50s in Spain had as one of its popular figures singer Jorge Sepúlveda (1917-1983). The repertoire of their music focused on light music with particular preponderance of issues on boleros and pasodobles. This album, compiled in 1988, contains much of his best known songs.
