Jorge Pardo Trio
Jorge Pardo — flute and saxophone
Melón Jiménez — guitar
Bandolero — percussion
My trio always features the queens, kings, and aces of flamenco/jazz — artists who embody the very essence of music itself: rhythmic mastery, the joy of improvisation, and deep commitment to music as a whole — not only as individuals, but as a collective that actively involves the audience. The audience ceases to be a passive observer and becomes a complicit partner in the musical ceremony unfolding at each concert.
Soleares, segurias, tangos, tarantos, bulerías, and other flamenco palos are treated with profound respect for their essence and rigorous knowledge of flamenco roots — yet also with the artistic freedom every creator must claim to make the message personal, original, and contemporary.
Ultimately, a fully realized "flamenco-jazz" experience — authentic, innovative, and unbound by clichés.
