Tribute to the Great Jazz Pianists

Joshua Edelman (Manhattan, 1954) and Rob Schneiderman (Boston, 1957) are two pianists with long and distinguished careers who experienced firsthand the golden age of jazz in New York during the 1970s and 1980s. Both are passionate researchers of the jazz tradition, as well as composers and performers with unmistakable musical personalities shaped by the experiences they lived in that environment.

Recently, drawing from their extensive artistic journeys, Edelman and Schneiderman embarked on this reunion for two pianos, without any additional accompaniment. In this format, a deep and energetic jazz emerges, filled with swing, beauty, subtle communication, and an intense emotional connection with the audience.

Through their experience, La Canal conveys the essence of jazz perfectly and confirms their reputation as one of Spain’s most enduring jazz bands. Quite simply, they embody an enviable sense of dignity and musicianship.

Not all great classical music composers naturally and spontaneously capture the attention of jazz musicians and their well-known interest in reinterpreting their works. Some, such as Bach, undoubtedly rank among the favorites. Jazz musicians seek certain compositional qualities that inspire them to undertake this challenging yet rewarding endeavor. This is precisely the case with the master Albéniz. As with jazz itself, his style constantly moves between colorfulness and improvisation, all enriched with a strong sense of rhythmic exploration.

Naturally, his harmonic and rhythmic connection with flamenco is unmistakable and, as is well known, flamenco and jazz have long enjoyed a fruitful coexistence. With all this in mind, the encounter between jazz and Albéniz becomes not only meaningful but deeply compelling. It is always exciting to be inspired by the rhythmic force and passion of the celebrated Asturias and Granada, or by the intimacy and elegance of the extraordinary Evocación. The journey has already begun.

Guest artist:
Juan Parrilla - flute

After winning the Bordón Minero award at the Festival de Cante de Las Minas, Joni Jiménez returns with a musical quintet format and with Juan Parrilla as musical director.

This show CONVITE was born from a night of celebration. When he won this prestigious award, Joni Jiménez wanted to return to Madrid, his home, re-energized and deeply grateful to all the friends and flamenco lovers who have shown their affection and admiration for the guitarist. Following its critical and public success, he decided to form a group and launch a tour.

Now is the time to give all that affection back, and there is no better way than through music.

For this reason, he has chosen a musical format surrounded by young artists from his own generation such as José El Gato, Manu Fernández, and Antonio Losada, who have come together to bring to the stage their own way of feeling music in general and flamenco in particular.

Taranta, soleá, alegrías, tanguillos, malagueña, abandolaos, bulerías, and pieces such as Caravan by Duke Ellington and Amanece by Luis Salinas are part of the repertoire performed under the distinctive signature of these musicians, who overflow with sensitivity.

Festivals such as Elipa Flamenca, Festival Tío Luis de la Juliana, Encuentros Paco de Lucía, Festival de Música Asisa, Noches de Vicálvaro, and Festival Flamenco de Club have embraced the project with enormous success.

MENIL SWING has established itself as one of the most distinctive and vibrant projects in Spanish popular music in recent years. Created with the aim of bringing greater visibility to gypsy jazz or jazz manouche, the group offers a renewed approach to swing, capable of moving and captivating a wide range of audiences.

The band’s name refers to the Parisian neighborhood of Ménilmontant, located on the heights of the city, which in the 1930s was home to figures such as Reinhardt, Grappelli, Edith Piaf, and Maurice Chevalier. They filled theaters, streets, and café-concert venues with their art, shaping the most bohemian nights of the French capital.

Made up of four acclaimed musicians from the Spanish jazz scene, whose careers have been linked to major names in international music, Menil revisits the standards of the 1920s through the 1950s with virtuosity and expressive richness, delivering an energetic swing that evokes the golden age of the genre.
