Dueto Andaluzhttp://duetoandaluz.com/ “Dueto Andaluz” Flamenco - direct from Puerto Morelos, Mexico - features guitarist, composer and arranger, Daniel Pimentel, and bailaora (Flamenco dancer), Natalia Loza, a master of castanets, shawl and fan. The multidisciplinary art of the Andalusian Gypsy culture of southern part of Spain is demonstrated through music, singing and flamenco dance. Dueto Andaluz suits the style and repertoire of Flamenco and plays also Jazz, Classical and Mexican music, with a Mediterranean and Andalusian feel.
Joe Lovanohttp://www.joelovano.com/"Move over, Pavarotti; the greatest Italian tenor ... isn't Luciano, but Lovano." - Will Friedwall/Village VoiceMost jazz musicians are flexible: it’s a philosophical requirement of the job....Joe Lovano is an extreme case, moving toward universality. Long ago he developed a tenor saxophone sound for his temperament. His starting place is bebop’s complex language, but he seems to be listening to something underneath language and style, something that could be well illustrated by jazz but isn’t specific to it. He’s good with a particular rhythm, or a structure, or a set of changes, but he doesn’t need any of it. And so an ideal Joe Lovano performance might be one that sounds good with New York’s advanced-harmony killer elite, but that could be effectively cut and pasted over a trap beat or a string quartet or scale exercises or traffic sounds.

Judi Silvanohttp://judisilvano.com/“Vocalist Silvano has guts and takes big risks singing in the new music arena, creating original music and functioning as an instrument in the ensemble”. - Kirk Silsbee / Downbeat MagazineThe voice of Judi Silvano, whose wordless vocals mesh beautifully in both ensemble and in improvised passages with husband, Joe Lovano, is versatile enough to present The Jazz Standards, or the unique work of Thelonious Monk, or of American women composers, or her own originals about the dance of life. Silvano, a fearless experimenter in world of jazz vocals, shares her joy, bringing inspiration to every collaborative effort through her skilled, "other-worldly" improvisational techniques and sensitive listening.
