Benavent. Di Geraldo. Pardo
The trio Carles Benavent, Tino Di Geraldo, Jorge Pardo is by distillation of the previous group of Jorge Pardo and Carles Benavent, the sextet that made history in the new flamenco and who accomplished his cycle in the summer of ’98 with a tour of apotheosis most important jazz festivals that took them from Vitoria to Montreal. At the sextet, and this is a rigorous historical fact began to develop improvisation on the support of the most rigorous rhythmic flamenco, and jazz with an attitude based on the compositions of Pardo and Benavent contained in their previous albums.
The first CD, The Seville Concert, was recorded in the Central Theater of Seville in 1999.
An extraordinary fusion between jazz, flamenco and Mediterranean music.
The last disc “Unprecedented” includes original themes by the three components of the band and they prove their maturity and complicity after they have acquired a lot of years working together around the world. If you get the chance, it is really worth getting concert tickets to see the trio live.
