V Festival de Jazz la Escalera de Jacob in Madrid presents:
Jose Luis Gutierrez, one of the most international Spanish jazz musicians, a brilliant saxophonist and composer, is not just a musician; he is one of these personalities where classifying him becomes really difficult. Exploring other cultures and far off lands, his originality and strong personality make his music as a perfect combination of different ingredients and creative improvisation, followed by an enthralling explosion of tastes, especially for the elusive and indescribable smack of “something” in his music.
One of the most important characteristics of his creation is the influence of Iberian music, giving way to the rise of truly original and passionate Iberjazz. His first album “Núcleo” was considered the best jazz album of 2004 in Spain. His last album “The Fruit Salad”, released in 2012, goes even further in discovering the fascinating possibilities between Iberian music and jazz.
