Spanish jazz

[Dmitry]

I'll be in Spain for the rest of the week, Granada and Madrud. So far went to a record store in Barcelona, Discos Paradiso, and to two stores in Seville, Discos Latimer and Discos Sevilla, and realized that other than Tete Montoliu I don't know any Spanish jazz musicians.

Also recommend some good Spanish guitar music. Quite a few guitar titles in the stores, but again, I don't just want to buy just anything.

You didn't go to Jazz Messengers in Barcelona?

Just looked it up. I missed a really great place...😡 Damn you, Google top Barcelona record stores search result.

I hope there's something good in Madrid. Found this one - jazzymas.com

I like Jordi Sabatés. I'd especially recommend this recording:

Wow, I just saw it yesterday at the Discos Latimer in Sevilla, but it was 35E. It's a two record set, right?

I think the vinyl issue was a 2-LP set. I have it on a single CD, reissued by Picap. 

Originally, I think it was on Spanish RCA.

For Spanish jazz, I like Nino Josele  (guitar) and Chano Dominguez (piano).

There is also the superb vocalist Buika. Her recordings are readily available in the United States, however. 

Also, Javier Limon is a brilliant guitarist, a spare and economical flamenco guitarist.

Not jazz, but the Spanish singer Maria Del Mar Bonet is fabulous.
