Chano Dominguez - Iman

From what and 'made the jazz? This is 'a fundamental question for a European musician, because the original tradition of jazz and' far from the tradition that is part of our European music. I know that I have addressed this topic several other times, and 'one of those things that emorgono when it comes to relationships with jazz and European music.
Chano Dominguez 'a pianist very particular on the European music scene, combining flamenco and jazz, especially jazz piano may seem like an impossible thing, even if in a sudden jazz structure, improvisation in flamenco € ™ s Itâ € ™ part of the the structure. In flamenco, the soleaâ € ™ or bulería, the guitarist does not know what the singer will make fincheâ € ™ € ™ does not, and the singer does not know what Falset (or melodic variation between successions of chords) guitarist suoneraâ € ™ for him. Then the germ of jazz in a way, and 'content in the soul of flamenco. This is the starting point, Chano Dominguez on this disc offers the usual interpretations of traditional jazz tunes or original compositions based on flamenco harmonies and rhythmic flamenco. Music that goes deep down to the ancestral type of sound you hear, something primal rages, punctuated by the voices and rhythms from the typical flamenco percussion. Peculiarities' is often the lack of a bass, rhythm section consisting of piano, rhythmic cells with flamenco, jazz harmonies, and percussion. Rarefied atmosphere, hard by the great evocative power of this excellent lyric Spanish pianist. Even jazz trio interpretations in terms of a single song as gracias a la vida, where the power really lyrical and jazz harmonies Chano Dominguez get to the heart without excessive technical or spectacular stage effects, with only the beauty of the melodies and clear memory of Bill Evans. A fine example of the type of music I love, how and form combining traditional European jazz is possible to make a living and provide new material, new standards to the jazz language.
