Synopsis

Album Description
Renaud Garcia-Fons is one of the pillars of ENJA--this is his 8th album for the label. There are multiple sources for his musical inspiration. He feels as close to the music of the Mediterranean and Asia as to the flamenco tradition, which he has transposed for the double bass. Features the great flamenco singer Esperanza Fernandez, a grand voice of flamenco who expands the frontiers of Andalusia all the way to the New World. "The Paganini of the double bass." -- Bass Player magazine
 

CD Reviews

Another masterful release from this incomparable musician
K. Knox | Boulder, CO USA | 04/17/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"While I love every CD I have by Renaud Garcia-Fons I'm especially delighed with this new recording. The compositions are as intricate and lovely as ever and the musicianship all around is incredible, but because it's mostly a trio the interaction among the instruments is especially clear. How is is possible that Garcia-Fons's bass playing continues to improve?



The three tracks with the flamenco vocalist sent shivers up my spine - pure devotion that's completely worthy of the Rumi poetry cited as the inspiration on Garcia-Fons's excellent web site. Music of this caliber is very rare."
