Spring is here…

…yes, this is the title of a theme I heard played wonderfully by Kenny Barron and Charlie Haden in Night and the city (1998). It’s my current leit motiv. And, of course, it is true: we are near of the spring season, and it arrives with some interesting concerts around.

Marlango, the jazz-pop-rock-something else band of actress Leonor Watling, Alejandro Pelayo and Oscar Ybarra will play at Coruña next weekend. I couldn’t get tickets because they are sold out. I hope I will go to the concert in Ferrol the May 1st.

Dave Kikoski will play in Vigo next April 29th. It’s a bit far but I’ll try to go, he’s one of my favourite pianists since I hear him playing with the Brecker brothers some years ago at San Sebastián. Dave Holland will play with Pepe Habichuela in the same city.

The greatest concert in my life, April 26th: McCoy Tyner. He is the only alive member of Coltrane’s quartet since 1960 to 1965. It’s a great chance to meet one man that helped to change the history of the music. He comes with an special guest: Joe Lovano, who returns to Coruña six years after the ScoLoHoFo (Scofield-Lovano-Holland-Foster) tour.
