BALDO MARTÍNEZ SEXTET: Música Imaginaria (Karonte)

The exceptional sextet led by Baldo Martínez offers us an hour of wonderful music, full of surprising and exciting developments, in the form of compositions that fly free and unfold towards paths of captivating beauty. Everything is elegant here, everything sounds emotional and careful to the extreme, everything fits in a strange and almost magical way in an improbable collage of contemporary jazz, free improvisation and sounds indebted to folklore. Everything is organic, natural and harmonious: there is light at all times. Imaginary Music is a very complete work in which vibraphones, accordions, fluscorns, marimbas and flutes are intertwined in a festive, beautiful and imaginative way around more conventional elements of the jazz tradition such as the sax, drums, trumpet or double bass. to create a fascinating, original work, addictive from the first note and totally elusive when looking for labels to try to define it.
