Saturday, March 28, 2026 David Pastor & Latino Blanco - The cool session David Pastor, trumpet Latino Blanco, baritone saxophone Miquel Álvarez, double bass Miquel Asensio, drums Valencia is a land of musicians. And yesterday at Jimmy's, two of the most charismatic musicians—not just in the UK, but in the world—came together. Although it all started in Africa, it developed in the USA and from there it was better marketed worldwide. Here, if we knew how to promote it half as well as they did, these two would be world jazz stars. I'm talking about baritone saxophonist, composer, producer and educator Francisco "Latino" Blanco and trumpeter and composer David Pastor. Last night at that jazz mecca called Jimmy Glass, they offered us a concert of good old-fashioned jazz, which delighted everyone present. Accompanied by a rhythm section of two musicians also from the area, namely the double bassist Miquel Álvarez and the drummer Miquel Asensio, we were able to witness a tribute to the cool jazz of the east coast, with hints of bop and all the talent of the aforementioned musicians. Themes mainly by Gerry Mulligan, the great reference of Latino where the constant dialogue saxophone - trumpet, each in its moment and perfectly balanced, elevated the music of this genius even more. Needless to say, the rhythm section shone brilliantly, with Álvarez's precision on the double bass and his pleasant scats, as well as the precision and forcefulness, beautiful and well-measured drumming of Asensio. A great night of jazz, which left a very good taste in the mouths of all those present on this night before Palm Sunday, the beginning of a Holy week. Seek beauty and enjoy Easter...
