A quintet of luxury remember Dizzy Gillespie because he still remembers what it was, one of the largest in the world jazz.
Gillespie was the great pioneer of be-bop, Afro-Cuban and bent trumpet.
Considered by many as the second giant after Louis Armstrong, needed to express a big band composer and arranger.
Its tradition is still alive, fueled enthusiasm for the five figures in Cartagena Jazz Festival will meet and where certain songs like "Salt Peanuts", "Groovin High", "A Night in Tunis" and many other extraordinary compositions that have long glory to jazz masterfully escaped their memories.
James Moody, a kind of alter ego of Gillespie who was paired with music and comedy, Slide Hampton one of the finest trombonists of all time and companion for over forty years of the teacher, bass player John Lee Gillespie about ten years; incredible and iconoclastic Cyrus Chestnut on piano, considered pro Time magazine as the best of his generation and one of the top rated jazz drummers Willie Jones III today, relive the magic figure of the trumpeter in a great session for jazz lovers classic.
For its part, the alto saxophonist, Perico Sambeat, also joined the festival, is now considered one of the great jazz musicians and Spanish both within and outside the country, has earned enormous prestige for his extraordinary career .
In the New School in New York had a chance to play with giants such as Lee Konitz, Jimmy Cobb, and Joe Chambers.
His career long and prolific, has a merit that few musicians have achieved, Pat Metheny and Maria Schneider as witnessed.
His recordings as a leader far outweigh that of any Spanish composer of jazz, with the exception of large Tete Montoliu.
Cartagena comes with a key project in flamenco jazz and big band format.
The saxophonist is put in front of a big horn section, their usual rhythm section (Javier Colina, Marc Miralta) and the flamenco guitarist Gerardo led by Nunez, and accompanied the dance by Carmen Cortes.
A big band that touches Soleas, bulerías tanguillos and penalties is unprecedented and we enjoy Cartagena Jazz Festival.
The latest album Sambeat, entitled as the show to be presented in the port city has been published by the legendary jazz label Verve, the multinational Universal, and therefore distributed throughout the world.
