Description

While already a star in his homeland, Spanish flamenco jazz pianist Chano Domi­nguez won an international following with his appearance in Calle 54, the award-winning 2000 documentary about Latin jazz. Domi­nguez was attracted to jazz by fusion pioneers like Mahavishnu Orchestra and Weather Report as well as the works of Bill Evans and Thelonious Monk, but Domi­nguez has found a singular niche as a pianist in the language of flamenco, tackled through the lens of the post-bop tradition. The incendiary keyboardist quickly became a dominant force in European jazz, leading an acclaimed trio and collaborating with artists including Paquito D'Rivera and Wynton Marsalis, with whom he recorded the stunning Vitoria Suite alongside guitar genius Paco de Luca.
