Mike Summers Jazz Friends "Alcoy Revisted"

Mike Summers: trumpet Jose Garcia: guitar, Josep Palmer: double bass, Javi Blanquer: drums

Unusually, for what is largely a Spanish jazz band, the style of music is mainly early swing. Another curiosity is that this band also represents a reunion of musicans from Alcoy. While three of the four musicians now lives on the coast, both Jose and Mike did live and perform in Alcoy for many years, and that's where they met the Alcoyano drummer Javi Blanquer. It promises to be an evening of sublime melodic jazz.
