Zara McFarlane, which many music critics call "the last hopes of vocal jazz," will be responsible for opening the third day of the Cartagena Jazz Festival tomorrow, Friday, November 7th.
It's the best of jazz and soul that there is at present in the UK.
Behind her, the pianist Chano Dominguez and guitarist Niño Josele together jazz and flamenco in the presentation of his album "Chano & Josele".
Concerts start at 21:30 in the Auditorium El Batel.
Localities 15 euros.
One day Chano Dominguez and Child Josele met in New York, invited both a tribute to Miles Davis.
They improvised a song together because they were there.
"I came here thinking 'how nice I've played with Chano" recalls guitarist, "and told Fernando Trueba at a meal."
Trueba called Dominguez.
Trueba said he already sensed it.
And Trueba, who in the past and tangled musicians such as Bebo and Chucho Valdes, Federico Britos, Jerry Gonzalez and Diego el Cigala in discs that were he soon became close tag Latin jazz, has returned to produce one of those albums foredoomed to crate classics: Chano & Josele.
Piano with guitar.
More shooting jazz to flamenco.
The imprint of improvisation is present on the disk all the time, but there is more melody improvisation.
It's an album where jazz, flamenco, pop are present ... it is an album of music from the century
Chano Dominguez (Cadiz, 1960) learned as a child with Beatles harmonies.
It is clear that Jimi Hendrix had the same utility to Juan José Heredia (Almería, 1974), the child of Josele that again and again crushed his home in La Chanca with Hey Joe.
Not one did pop (although the album included a cover of Because of Lennon and McCartney) or other rock, but maybe that childlike curiosity about the other two belonged to an environment flamenco¡ª explain some of the artistic adventures and willingness to meet other musicians and other music.
"Chano known flamenco, is the musician that I found it easier to play" says Josele, who has previously worked with other jazz musicians as Chick Corea, Marc Johnson, Jerry Gonzalez and Carles Benavent.
"Every project is different, each musician takes to make something that you do with the other. In any flamenco guitarist with whom I've seen poetry touched Josele" praises the pianist, who no longer keeps track of their discography from In 1978 he recorded his first album with the IAC group.
The last hope of vocal jazz is a Jamaican-born British fan of Nina Simone.
The first thing that stands out is his name: "Just my parents liked their sound."
Then, of course, the voice of Zara McFarlane: warm and sensual with a girlish touch that envelops the listener in a sea of ​​sensations.
And behind it, a song written in the first person singular;
those of their new album "If You Knew her".
For much of the criticism, the best that has given the British jazz & soul in decades.
Born 30 years ago in the vicinity of London, within a family of Jamaican origin.
Perhaps because "the reggae music was the background against which passed family life", the new album contains less surprising interpretation of Police and Thieves, Junior Murvin piece that led to fame The Clash in 1977.
It is one of the songs of her life since childhood, before the future queen of new British jazz debut at age 14 in a TV show with an imitation of American Lauryn Hill.
"We just do not understand life without singing," she says.
Zara learned all he knows from books: a diploma in Popular Music and Jazz and Improvisation at the University of West London and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, respectively.
If you Knew Her is their second album after Until Tomorrow (2011).
For this, he has retold the invaluable collaboration of producer and radio DJ Gilles Peterson.
