Jorge

Jorge Pardo is an excellent saxophonist that has recorded often with percussionist Tino di Geraldo and Bass player Carles Benavent. Their fusion of spanish music and jazz is one of the best I've ever heard. The outstanding talent of the musicians he plays with makes of this record something really special. Mostly instrumental, this is a soft but powerful record.

The Benavent, Di Geraldo and Pardo trio emerged from the ashes of the Pardo y Benavent band, the sextet that made flamenco history and that came to an end in 1998 with an amazing tour of the most important jazz festivals from Vitoria to Montreal. It was in this sextet – a historic fact – improvisation on a flamenco beat was done for the first time, with a jazz attitude and based on the compositions of Pardo and Benavent contained in their previous albums.
