El último tema del disco, “Cinco Noches en el Kgalagadi”, tuvo origen en las noches en las que Fran Nava estuvo en el desierto de Kalahari en Namibia. Tiene una sección rítmica fuerte con reminiscencia africana, acompañada de una melodía pentatónica y muy “cantable”. La composición cuenta con una improvisación de piano en un 7/4 que en forma repentina da lugar al head-in donde se desarrollan las improvisaciones de trompeta y saxo tenor.

The last song on the album, “Cinco Noches en el Kgalagadi”, had its origins in the nights that Fran Nava was in the Kalahari desert in Namibia. It has a strong rhythm section with African reminiscences, accompanied by a pentatonic and very “singable” melody. The composition has a piano improvisation in 7/4 time that suddenly gives space to the head-in where the trumpet and tenor sax improvisations develop.

I have to admit that I neither have heard of Argentinian Julián Solarz nor Catalan Frederic Mompou but as among the (too) few people who bought this album there were 3 fellow Bandcampers (r3n3, little james and Neil Hobkirk, thanks, guys!) whom I follow, I had to give this a listen - and then a buy ;-)
"Chamber jazz" is what I would have labelled this and as it's among the tags given, that might be okay... Carsten Pieper
