Hace más de treinta años que estos dos músicos iniciaron un camino de investigación en aquella formación pionera que fue Dolores, eran los 70 y en este país, mas que ahora la música no lo tenía fácil. Conozco mucho mas la trayectoria de Jorge Pardo, nunca olvidaré una noche de jazz en que Ramón Cardó "Sebo" y él, podían haber "incendiado" un local que ahora son los cines Verdi, dos jóvenes saxos que recordaban lo que debió ser Gillespi y Parquer cuando juntos inventaron el bop. Después todo su trabajo con Paco de lucía y por supuesto toda su obra personal. Tomás San Miguel más centrado en el folk vasco, sus trabajos centrados en la txalaparta vasca, en fin dos mundos intensos. Este es su tercer trabajo juntos y desde el Tango en Ibiza que abre hasta un remix de su Jaleo mezclado con los ingredientes mas Chill del momento es un discazo a tener en cuenta.

Album released in Spain in 1980 under the RCA label, on the collection made in advance in 1973, on one of the voices of the Mexican song, the singer and actor Jorge Alberto Negrete Moreno (Guanajuato, 1911 - 53). During the 30's and 40's Jorge became a mass phenomenon. His fame and popularity spread internationally, including in countries he never visited, spreading his 'charro' singer image, with his broad hat, and popularizing the mode of the Mexican music and customs. The album, meets 9 of his greatest hits.

Even before he was famous, he was already a legend among piano aficionados. Not until he won a 1985 Gramophone award for a Liszt album did Jorge Bolet, then already 70, graduate from insider tip to household name. Now Sony Classical releases on 10 CDs of all those fabled, yet heretofore only sporadically accessible, recordings that the great Cuban-American pianist made for RCA, CBS and Spain’s Ensayo Records between 1959 and 1983. This first ever complete Sony collection also includes many tracks for the first time on CD, including Bolet’s debut on RCA, a Liszt programme from 1959. Many CDs have been remastered from the original analogue tapes for this release, packaged, as always, with original covers, labels and full discographical notes.

Saxophonist and flutist Jorge Pardo finds common ground between the romantic warmth of flamenco and the harmonic density of jazz on his fourth solo release. There's some synthesizer influence, but the electronics do not overwhelm either the Afro-Latin rhythmic foundation or the expressive playing displayed by Pardo, alto flutist Fernando Bravo, and guitarists Augustin Carbonell and Gerardo Nunez. Sometimes things get a bit lush, but Pardo and his comrades retain enough instrumental fire and energy to keep the date from becoming bogged down or overly sentimental.

Again D'3 offers a neat example of miscegenation between flamenco and jazz performed by a group whose leader is the saxophonist Jorge Pardo, one of the great masters of this trend.

The current popularity of Bach's six cello suites can be traced back to the Catalan cellist Pablo Casals, who was the first to include these pieces in the concert repertoire. The young violinist Jorge Jimenez, also Catalan, is a great admirer of the great cellist, coming only a few kilometres from Casals' birthplace. But Bach's cello suites already attracted attention in the 19th century, in the course of the Leipzig Bach Renaissance around Felix Mendelssohn. The violin virtuoso and teacher Ferdinand David made an arrangement for the violin. Jorge Jimenez uses this edition from 1866 for his interpretation. It contains unusually varied and for that time very precise indications for the performance of the music. For this version, entirely in the 19th century reading, Jorge Jimenez uses a romantic violin and a bow from the period. His extraordinary interpretation of Bach's cello suites is the second part of his series "Rethinking Bach", which Jimenez began with his own highly acclaimed arrangement of the Goldberg Variations for solo violin (PC 10434).
