Night birds over Pontedeume

Filed under: Jazz — 曹 tsao @ 10:15 pm

It seems the jazz scene is improving in my humbly, little hometown. Yesterday we reach the II Festival de Jazz de Pontedeume, and, despite of the rain, I hope it won’t be the last. The people of O Abrevadeiro bar are doing a great effort to push a nice festival in a 10,000 population town.

This year we could listen to The Gypsy Jazz Project, a two-gitars and bass trio from Barcelona, the played nice swing in the Django style. Then we knew the new quartet of Guillermo Lacelotti, Mr. Dixie Jazz Band’s trumpet: Cool Beat. They show us the hidden bop inside Guillermo. And finally, more than two hours of Sonny, Parker, Coltrane… performed by Enrique Guzmán Quarter. The concert end around 3 AM and we were still in the square under the rain crying for more :-)
