EKE BBB Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Spanish saxophonist and clarinetist Pedro Iturralde passed away this week. He was 91 years old. I have fond memories of the many PI concerts I attended over the past 20 years (Galileo Galileo, Central, Madrid Jazz Festival, Clamores...). I talked to him a few times and he was always gentle and communicative, even in July 2019, when he had severe hearing deficit. A legend in the Spanish jazz landscape for more than 60 years. Second only to Tete Montoliu. He will be sorely missed.

It is the only example of Iturraide's playing I have heard. Very enjoyable session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
