Release Notes:
Sao, in Valencian, means the earth prepared for
sowing. Behind the poetry of the word, perfectly
suited to the melodies of Jerez-Texas, there is a
beautiful picture: the fertile earth full of
promises, like a CD one is holding in one's hands
for the first time. The trio has already shown on
stage the seductive power of its music which, and
that is not very common, commands respect while
raising smiles. With Sao, Jerez-Texas has explored
other territories in their universe. The
improvisations where jazz and flamenco lightly
interweave are still very much present but the
three musicians, accompanied by other artists, have
traded the energy deployed live for softer
arrangements, with subtle shimmers and golden
reflections. This is the colour of the wheat when
the harvest is good.
Jerez-Texas a capture sur Sao, son premier album,
ce mariage chaleureux entre la fougue du flamenco,
la liberte du jazz et l'elegance de la musique
classique qui a deja fait la preuve sur scene de
son pouvoir de seduction. Le trio s'est entoure en
studio de nombreux invites (chant flamenco et
valencien, accordeon, percussions, clarinette) pour
etoffer l'energie delivree live avec des
arrangements subtils et chatoyants. Sur Sao, ou les
compositions cotoient deux audacieuses reprises de
classiques de la chanson francaise (la Foule,
Couleur Cafe), Jerez-Texas trace les frontieres
d'un univers singulier ou coexistent poesie et
virtuosite, et dont chaque auditeur risque de se
transformer en ambassadeur.
