Mikel Gaztelurrutia: The New Jazz Voices Ensemble
Take a handful of jazz standards - works of Ellington and George Gershwin-, season with a pair of infallible "popular classics" as Roxanne (The Police) or Do not you worry about a thing (Stevie Wonder) - and all rounded off with a piece in key of Bossa -Samba Do Novo Amor "and a beautiful composition of Aita Donostia-Oinazez-to round out its international flavor. The result: an exotic dish that will surprise diners who like the delicate flavors.
Special disc recorded at the Coliseum theater Eibar (Gipuzkoa) from the hand of the pianist Mikel Gaztelurrutia.
Built on a tremendously solid trio work(Vincent Thomas-drums, Richie Ferrer-bass-and Mikel Gaztelurrutia-piano- ), the repertoire of The New Jazz Voices Ensemble contains little gems.
The voice is the real leitmotiv of this project, giving it unique: perhaps some small versions of it trite naivety of their choice, but in all of them you can appreciate a creative approach made from the affection and respect for the original one and a thorough and detailed work.
The uninitiated will discover a flawless collection of songs in a very affordable context. Those whom they are familiar repertoire, can enjoy the classics with a not normal treatment.
