ENGLISH

Classical instruments on an innovative, versatile and unclassifiable proposal. Perfect in a jazz cave and in a chapel. As suitable in a jazz festival as in a chamber music cicle. Josep-Manel Vega's compositions inspired by references such as OREGON (Ralph Towner) or ESBJÖRN SVENSON TRIO born in the frame of collective creation and improvisation. Brief themes and simple melodies developed in real time at every new playing. Beyond the musical show... A JOURNEY OF FEELINGS!
