“La Siesta de las Ballenas” es la única balada del disco y simboliza las dos formas en que se encuentran las ballenas, a nivel cerebral, cuando estas duermen. La sección A del tema representa la parte del cerebro en descanso, mientras que la sección B alude a un cerebro despierto, activo y atento a las amenazas del océano. El tema cuenta con improvisaciones de piano y saxo tenor sobre ambas secciones, y se desarrolla en formato cuarteto.

“La Siesta de las Ballenas” is the only ballad on the album and symbolizes the two ways in which whales are, on a cerebral level, when they sleep. Section A of the theme represents the part of the brain at rest, while section B alludes to a brain that is awake, active and attentive to the threats of the ocean. The song features piano and tenor sax improvisations on both sections, and is developed in quartet format.

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
