One of Spain’s most innovative instrumentalists, Jorge Pardo brings his seductive style of flamenco-jazz to Australia for the first time.
A unique voice in Iberian jazz with a solo career spanning a quarter-century, Pardo was crowned Best European Jazz Musician by the French Jazz Academy in 2012.
He is a longstanding collaborator with luminaries such as Chick Corea and Paco de Lucia, and has performed and recorded with artists as diverse as Pat Metheny, Camerón de la Isla, Jeff Ballard and Tomatito.
His drive for new ideas sees him incorporate influences from across the globe, including Spanish classical music and the folk rhythms of Africa, the Caribbean and Cuba.
His latest project, Huellas, explores the colours, emotions and interaction between the two rich traditions of jazz and flamenco in what will be an irresistible, impassioned and intoxicating performance adventure.
