About this concert
. Probablement, un dels baixistes de jazz més personals que existix. Més enllà de la seua destresa tècnica, encarna l'esperit del jazz: la busca constant de la llibertat creativa i l'expressió personal. És un músic que desafia els límits del gènere, fusionant el jazz amb elements flamencs, llatins i rockers, creant així un so únic i inconfusible. Hereu de Jaco Pastorius ha tocat amb Miles Davis, Quincy Jones Chick Corea, Camarón de la Isla i Paco de Lucía. Benavent oferirà el seu projecte més personal en format de trio al costat del prestigiós pianista Roger Mas i el sol·licitat percussionista Toni Pagès. Un trio musical de luxe que es redimensiona amb la participació del gran Antonio Serrano, sens dubte un dels millors harmonicistes actuals del món, reclamat pels millors músics del moment que com Benavent també va ser col·laborador regular del geni Paco de Lucía i que, per descomptat, té a Toots Thielemans com a gran referència. Per si no fora prou, se li unix com a convidat Raynald Colom, un dels millors trompetistes de jazz europeu i figura clau en la fusió del jazz i el flamenc, ha col·laborat amb llegendes com Greg Osby, Nicholas Payton, David Sánchez, Eric Reed, Mulgrew Miller, Chano Domínguez, El Piraña, Raimundo Amador, Paco de Lucía i molts més. També va formar part de la mítica gira Clandestí de Manu Chao. Serà, sens dubte, una vetlada plena d'emotivitat, virtuosisme i passió.

Carles Benavent Biography
Birth: Barcelona, 1954
On several occasions flamenco has felt attracted by jazz, and vice-versa. Paco de Lucía was one of the first to introduce 'jazz' instruments into his flamenco compositions. This is how Carles Benavent became initiated in flamenco, and he did so to such an extent, that at present we could almost say that he is more of a flamenco musician that a jazz musician. Paco de Lucía instructed him in his art form, but Benavent has contributed his own strokes of genius, such as the use of the flamenco alzapua guitar playing technique (using the right hand, the thumb is repeatedly brandished over the same guitar chord, usually a grave, or deep, chord) while playing the electric bass.
Carles Benavent has always been a self-taught musician. As a jazz musician he has shared the stage with geniuses like Quincy Jones, Chick Corea and Miles Davis. He has also worked on several occasions alongside saxophonist Jorge Pardo, who was also recruited to flamenco by Paco de Lucía. Both of them (Pardo and Benavent) were Grammy award candidates with a record that they made for the Jazzpaña project.
