Innovative stuff from the first Jimmy Giuffre trio, an unusual line-up of guitar and bass with Giuffre alternating between sax and clarinet, happy to dispense with a drummer and rely on an implied rhythm supplied by collective musicianship.

Studio sessions from 1956/57 are augmented with recordings from the “Stars of Jazz” and “The Sound of Jazz” TV shows, including a second version of Giuffre’s most famous tune 'The Train and the River'. (Jim Atlas replaces Ralph Peña on bass on both cuts).

  

An expanded version of the first album to feature the Jimmy Giuffre trio – originally issued by Atlantic as The Jimmy Giuffre 3, but featuring additional bonus live tracks here! The core session is groundbreaking trio work from Giuffre – an album that cut loose both the piano and the drums – in a way that took Gerry Mulligan's earlier rhythm-less experiments with jazz, and pushed them one degree further! The group on the session features Giuffre on clarinet, tenor, and baritone sax – alongside the guitar of Jim Hall and bass of Ralph Pena – all working together with no other accompaniment, but in a way that's as swinging as it is airy – an amazing exercise in tone, color, and control! The sound is out of this world, and the notes just hang lightly in air – beautifully dancing around one another.

"From the Middle Ages to Danzon"

 
Two instruments, two virtuosos come together to achieve a symbiotic relationship that provides excellent results: an album full of sounds, revelations of mutations. Yes, "From the Middle Ages to Danzon" (Quindecim Recordings, 2002) is a mosaic of different ways that people have expressed musically through the centuries and now are part of a universal heritage.
In addition, this results from the overlap of two talented Mexican musicians: flutist Horacio Franco and bassist Victor Flores, who managed to mate with their instruments in an almost perfect (could easily omit the "almost") to sound majestic, masterful.
In fact, a factor to note is the selection of topics that make up this CD, it is very balanced, allowing the harmonious interaction of the two instruments, as well as the possibility that each one shine, stand out, look, giving occasion for the musicians demonstrate their mastery and virtuosity, passion and sensitivity, as each interpretation reveals the soul and feeling of the performer.
As indicated in the booklet accompanying the disc: "The program 'From medieval to danzón' is, firstly, to unite the expressive possibilities of both instruments and techniques whose development has nothing to do either historically or timbre, but work excellently for 'telling' a path that is common to each other: the universality of musical language and, secondly, to demonstrate the quality and effectiveness of this language not only corresponds to a type of music. "
Indeed, the maestro Horacio Franco arrangements they make the contents of the disc is uniform and integrated, that is, naturally amalgamate the sounds of music 'educated' with 'popular' pieces from the classical repertoire with gems the danzón were selected.
"From the Middle Ages to danzón" was recorded at Laboratorio Arte Alameda (formerly Colonial Art Gallery) in October 1999 in the Auditorium "Blas Galindo" the National Arts Centre in May 2001. It is on sale in record shops and bookstores prestige.

 The Miño project came about through a comission for the Portuguese  Guimaraes International Jazz Festival for Baldo Martinez, Galician double bassist noted for his work in the area of modern tendencies of European jazz.Some of the compositions, all originals, are based on traditional lyrics and music from his homeland. They are interpreted by nine excellent  musicians, each one well known in the jazz and folk circuits, who achieve a rich and varied timbre, combining traditional instruments like hurdy-gurdy together with electric guitar, tuba, vibes, double bass.......developed within a contemporary jazz idiom, this music is inspired by the traditional music from the river Miño area, on the border between Galicia in the north-west of Spain and the north of Portugal. It offers a personal approach within the latest European jazz fields with very strong autoctonas roots.
  

  
The Galician double-bass player Baldo Martínez is one of the most representative musicians within Spanish contemporary jazz and one of those with greater recognition outside of Spain, proof of which is the recent tour of Germany(Trienal Festival of Cologne, European Jazz made in.....in Munich) where he presented the Projecto Miño, one of the most daring and innovative directed by Baldo Martínez.. In 1994 he formed his own group, after previously founding bands like Zyklus or Clunia, and having worked with respected national and international musicians: Paolo Fresu(2003), Louis Sclavis(2006), Joachim Kühn(from 2005), Jorge Pardo, Wade Mattews, Carlo Actis Dato(from 2001), Maria Joao (from 1985), Mike Rabinowitz, Chano Dominguez, Angel Rubio and a long etc... Baldo Martinez's first record, "No Pais dos Enanos" was received with very positive reviews and was considered by the magazine Cuadernos de Jazz as the 2nd best record in 1996. Two years later he presented his 2nd work as leader, "Juego de Niños" in the Matosinhos-Porto International European Jazz Festival (Portugal) where it received great acclaim from the public and very favourable reviews.This record was also considered to be one of the 5 best in 1998. He also presented it in France,where it was very well recieved "standing apart within Spanish Jazz,Baldo Martinez impregnates with elegance and creativity the paths of European Jazz". Featured also in the special cultural supplement Babelia, to celebrate the 25th aniversary of the newspaper El País,he was considered to be one of the most prominent Spanish jazz musicians within the European jazz scene. The past may this group have participate in the EUROJAZZ in Mexico, this festival show the last ways of European Jazz. "The Baldo Martinez quintet has managed to .........the idea of flamenco-jazz and has enriched it with the influence of popular music creating a personal language...a music laced with ethnic tonalities with contemporary touches"(El Heraldo De MEXICO (April 2002) In 1999 he was asked to lead "Miño Project" in the International Jazz Festival in Guimaraes, Portugal, considered to be one of the most important within the new European jazz scene. This project develops a reperetory based on the traditional music of Galicia and the north of Portugal, with a 9 piece band (Maria Joao, Gregg Moore, Carlos Beceiro, etc..).Worthy of mention also is his recent collaboration with the Italian musician Carlo Actis Dato o Paolo Fresu the last Summer It is one of the most stable and solid groups currently existing in Spain, formed with internationally recognized musicians.

    Baldo Martinez have take his music for Spain, Germany, Portugal, Maruecos, Mexico, Luxemburgo, France, etc... The recording by the title "Nai" (2001), mixes a large part of his recent musical experiences, and we can find music inspired in folk, especially Galician, played with vanguard style within current European jazz. The group is formed by leading musicians from the national scene; the guitarrist, also Galician, Antonio Bravo, revelation in recent years; the British trumpet-player David Herrington, very creative with his warm sound, on drums and electronic percussion, Pedro Lopez, one of the most imaginative musicians who also formed part of the group Zyclus with Baldo Martinez, and the most recent member, Eduardo Ortega, a young violinist, virtuoso and great improviser, who lends the group a personality and sonority that fits perfectly within the eschetic planning of Baldo Martinez's music. Recently, 5 years after it's creation, he presented the Projecto Miño in Spainlast January in the Circulo de bellas Artes in Madrid within the Festival Internacional Escena Contemporánea, achieving great recognition from the public and media, who described it as "one of the most emotive, ambitious, exuberant and intelligent projects that has appeared in Spanish jazz in a long time" Pablo Sanz –EL MUNDO- During this year, 2005, he has edited two cd's, one with his quintet, called TUSITALA and another in duo with the Italian saxophone and bass-clarinet player Carlo Actis Dato, titled FOLKLORE IMAGINARIO from the British label, Leo Records. In 2006 he formed TRIEZ with Agustí Fernandez and Ramón López., they presented this grouping “JAZZYCOLRS FESTIVAL” in Paris, November 2006 Also at the present he is member of “Joachim Kühn Iberia Trio”.
