This is GREAT music for all fusion-funk-jazz lovers, sounds fresh and new, they seem to have fun playing and that is transmitted to the audience. I hadn't had so much fun listening to music in a long time.
TRECE es un trío que explora nuevos caminos para la música experimentando desde lenguajes tan diversos como el jazz, el flamenco, el funk, el latin o el rock.
Con una particular formación (guitarra eléctrica, bajo y percusión), TRECE nace en noviembre de 2008 como un proyecto en el que sus componentes (Miguelo Delgado, Jorge Cordero y Juanito Makandé) quieren proponer composiciones arriesgadas y complejas, a la vez que encontrar un sonido y estilo propios, plenos de vitalidad, expresividad y precisión.
Confrontando sus diversas influencias (que van desde grupos como Weather Report, Medeski Martin & Wood o The Bad Plus hasta Tortoise, y figuras como Chano Domínguez, Richard Bona, Marcus Miller o Pat Metheny), y poniendo en común sus diferentes estrategias creativas e interpretativas, los músicos de TRECE logran que la fluidez de la improvisación y la búsqueda de nuevas estructuras melódicas confluyan con la riqueza de la concepción rítmica heredada del flamenco y las músicas del sur.
TRECE is a trio that is constantly exploring new ways of experiencing music, using musical languages as diverse as jazz, flamenco, funk, latin, and rock to come up with something that is always new and original.
With a unique formation (electric guitar, bass, and percussion), TRECE was born in November of 2008 as a way for its members (Miguelo Delgado, Jorge Cordero, and Juanito Makandé) to experiment with complex and risky arrangements, while also finding their own individual sounds and styles full of vitality, expressiveness, and precision.
By confronting their diverse influences (which range from Weather Report, Medeski Martin & Wood, and the Bad Plus, to Tortoise and figures like Chano Domínguez, Richard Bona, Marcus Miller, and Pat Metheny), and pooling together their collective creative and interpretive strategies, the musicians of TRECE manage to achieve an intersection between the ever-shifting nature of improvisation and the search for new melodic structures with the richness of traditional, handed-down rhythms of flamenco and the music of the south.
