In this journey Terraza has laid out a number of referents that have marked his career, both in his own compositions inspired by the masters and in revivals of classic themes. It is the particular manner of the Catalan pianist to look backward while moving forward that established a position for his work in a line that we might wish to call twenty-first centuy jazz mainstream. Terraza has released a record that is a pure celebration of the most authentic jazz. (Pere Pons)

With its brilliant execution and its unstoppable communicative strength, Swing Appeal is a CD that, for the same price, can satisfy the most demanding jazz palates, as well as a wide-ranging public thirsty for good music. Here Sheiman confirms her ability as an interpreter of the highest calibre, placing her brilliant and expansive voice at the disposal of a collection of swinging and faultless songs. Terraza chooses a special focus for each theme, in order that they have a differentiated colouring and treatment, until he achieves the maximum relief. A feast for the ears.

Christmas is a dangerous time. Especially if youre an adult, you dont feel the need to get together with family members with whom you hardly speak to during the rest of the year, who are in a critical stage of their umpteenth diet, and from badulaque to the majestic retail centres, the gynaecologists waiting room or the tax-office lift, a conspiracy of shepherds, virgins, Jesus boys and mother of Mary kids twitter in unison in the same old persistent song. These are the dreadful carols, a genre within themselves licensed with rampant persecution and endless repetition which shows no mercy.

This live recording brings together a selection of works from two concerts given at the Fundación Juan March in Madrid by Antonio Serrano, accompanied by pianists Federico Lechner (22 November 2014) and Ignasi Terraza (27 November 2021). In these recitals Serrano demonstrated his virtuosic mastery of the harmonica, an instrument that has played a hugely influential role in the history of jazz. The memorable music of two such significant composers as Cole Porter and George Gershwin acquires a new creative dimension in the hands of Antonio Serrano. Unfamiliar to many, the idiomatic potential of the harmonica is fully revealed in this recording, conjuring an unusual sound world that will transform the listening experience for those curious enough to dive into it.
