El tema “El Bosón de Higgs” representa musicalmente la aceleración de partículas realizada en el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones con el objetivo de descubrir el Bosón de Higgs, la llamada Partícula de Dios. Comenzando con un “walking” de contrabajo y batería en un tempo excesivamente bajo, el mismo se acelera hasta conseguir un “up-tempo” límite, que concluye abruptamente por medio de melodías, representando así, la colisión entre partículas. Con improvisaciones abiertas y libres de piano y saxo alto, la composición finaliza con una fuerte cadencia realizada al unísono entre los cuatros instrumentos. “El Bosón de Higgs” es un tema intenso, enérgico y con destellos del Free Jazz.

The song “El Bosón de Higgs” musically represents the acceleration of particles carried out at the Large Hadron Collider with the purpose of discovering the Higgs Boson, the so-called God Particle. Beginning with a “walking” of double bass and drums at an excessively low tempo, it accelerates until reaching an “up-tempo” limit, which ends abruptly through melodies, thus representing the collision between particles. With open and free improvisations of piano and alto sax, the composition ends with a strong cadenza performed in unison between the four instruments. “El Bosón de Higgs” is an intense, energetic song with flashes of Free Jazz.

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
