CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Smooth and sophisticated, Jerry Gonzalez' latest CD is an intriguing masterwork. Anchored by Gonzalez, who is a wizard on percussion and is obviously inspired by Miles Davis in his trumpet playing, the music evokes an international speakeasy. An intimate club setting where fiery flamenco grooves, bebop-flavored jazz, and reflective tunes are showcased. Gonzalez is matched in his intensity by flamenco guitarist Nino Josele on such tunes as Thelonious Monk's "Monk's Dream" ("Monk Soniquete") and Charlie Parker's "Donna Lee" ("Donnali"). While the musicianship is exquisite, Spanish flamenco singer Diego El Cigala adds a haunting vibe on "Gitanos de la Cava" and "Obsesion." He sings in a bluesy and dramatic style, his light tenor zooming from barely audible whispers to tortured wails. --Ramiro Burr Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsHe's back, brilliant and introspective R G-S Listen with all your might! | Los Angeles CA USA | 07/11/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "After a multi-year hiatus from recording with the Fort Apahe Band (at their peak, one of the best working bands in jazz) Jerry G's back with an introspective and stripped-down work. Recording in New York and Madrid with Spanish musicians mostly unknown to jazz fans, he has produced one of the most compelling Flamenco/jazz fusions since Miles' "Sketches". He's absorbed Monk and Bird so thoroughly that their work has become just parts of an astonishing and unique vocabulary. I'd buy another whole collection of this music, immediately if/when it gets released, then I'd ask when the Gonzalez/Gonzalez/Berrios rhythm section was going to take a stab at the same work." Jazz multicultural de calidad insuperable!! Orlando Abreu | 06/07/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "El trompetista y percucionista puertorriqueño Jerry González supera los estereotipos y los modos prefabricados del llamado "latin jazz". Esto es otra cosa. Supera las frontera del be-bop y el cool jazz, de los ritmos afro-caribeños y hasta del flamenco, música que se aventura a explorar exitosamente en esta producción, junto a un "dream team" de la musica de flamenco;entre ellos Niño Josele y Diego "El cigala". Si te gustó el duo de El Cigala y Bebo Valdés, este disco te encantará...Bravo!!" Flamenco Jazz Miles Davis style Michael Cole | Spain | 01/17/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "I never listen to Jerry Gonzalez before purchasing this record. What captured my attention was the group's name, indicating an interesting fusion between jazz and the warm flamenco music. when played the CD it was clear from the first moment it'g going to be interesting. The combination between a Miles Davis style of playing the trumpet and the spanish flamenco is special. Along all the tunes on this CD, Jerry is showing a clear and well shaped character. He is not trying to impress with just virtuosity but with deep music and fantastic sensivity. He is developing his ideas within a very well marked style and arragment, like I said before, even Miles Davis would have liked it."
