5.0 out of 5 stars He's back, brilliant and introspective, July 10, 2005

This review is from: Jerry Gonzalez Y Los Piratas Del Flamenco (Audio CD)

After a multi-year hiatus from recording with the Fort Apahe Band (at their peak, one of the best working bands in jazz) Jerry G's back with an introspective and stripped-down work.
Recording in New York and Madrid with Spanish musicians mostly unknown to jazz fans, he has produced one of the most compelling Flamenco/jazz fusions since Miles' "Sketches". He's absorbed Monk and Bird so thoroughly that their work has become just parts of an astonishing and unique vocabulary.

I'd buy another whole collection of this music, immediately if/when it gets released, then I'd ask when the Gonzalez/Gonzalez/Berrios rhythm section was going to take a stab at the same work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flamenco Jazz Miles Davis style, January 16, 2007

I never listen to Jerry Gonzalez before purchasing this record. What captured my attention was the group's name, indicating an interesting fusion between jazz and the warm flamenco music. when played the CD it was clear from the first moment it'g going to be interesting. The combination between a Miles Davis style of playing the trumpet and the spanish flamenco is special. Along all the tunes on this CD, Jerry is showing a clear and well shaped character. He is not trying to impress with just virtuosity but with deep music and fantastic sensivity. He is developing his ideas within a very well marked style and arragment, like I said before, even Miles Davis would have liked it.

El trompetista y percucionista puertorriqueño Jerry González supera los estereotipos y los modos prefabricados del llamado "latin jazz". Esto es otra cosa. Supera las frontera del be-bop y el cool jazz, de los ritmos afro-caribeños y hasta del flamenco, música que se aventura a explorar exitosamente en esta producción, junto a un "dream team" de la musica de flamenco;entre ellos Niño Josele y Diego "El cigala". Si te gustó el duo de El Cigala y Bebo Valdés, este disco te encantará...Bravo!!
