Over The Rainbow

2017 release. Jazz music is very much a living art. The music's best practitioners are elite heard in live performance. The energy of an audience brings something special to a performer, especially in a solo setting. Spanish pianist Chano Dominguez proves this on his extraordinary live recording Over The Rainbow, a wonderfully nuanced and diverse collection of music spanning many of Dominguez's own musical interests, including flamenco music, Latin American folk music and the classic jazz composition. The recording was made during a live performance from February 24, 2012 at the Palau Falguera in Barcelona, Spain. Pieces were recorded before and during the concert. The selections being released were pared down from two hours worth of material that stylistically covers pieces by two outstanding jazz composers, Latin American folk and popular music writers, a couple of original songs and one hallmark of the American songbook.
