The legendary bluesman it described as incredible as today do their loyal fans impressed by his music.
The child prodigy of the blues has a diverse discography.
It shows his taste for high carat blues, but you are comfortable opening up to other styles, like pop and rock mostly, merging very subtly.
In 2000, Joe recorded his first solo debut album, entitled 'A New Day Yesterday', where he displays his vocal potential and whose skills were not lost on artists like Gregg Allman, Rick Derringer and Leslie West.
Since then, the child prodigy of the blues has recorded six albums.
Bonamassa is very involved with the Blues in the Schools program, which brings the genre to new generations.
Blues in the Schools is a project to perpetuate the legacy of this musical genre and make it to school to get knowledge of new generations.
By reading, young students became involved in a long trip that showed the entire evolution of the blues from its beginnings at parties or birthday celebrations among workers in the cotton plantations of the Mississippi Delta in late 1800 to the actions more professionalized in theaters today.
These readings were accompanied by a performance by Joe Bonamassa.
In recognition of her commitment to promoting the blues, has been honored as the youngest member of the prestigious institution, The Blues Foundation.
For its part, the alto saxophonist, Perico Sambeat, is today 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.
His album has been recorded by the prestigious Verve label.
The saxophonist is put in front of a big horn section, their usual rhythm section (Javier Colina) 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.
