PRESS QUOTES:
«Fortià himself is a bass player’s bass player, with a sound to die for and a rhythmic feel that is equally at ease with flamenco and deep gospel.»
Jon Turney – London Jazz News
«Manel Fortià has an impressive yet eclectic resumé ranging from mainstream modern jazz to a folk-inspired blend of free flamenco. No matter the context, it is his large and deep sound that immediately hooks the listener.»
Marco Cangiano – New York City Jazz Record
«Fortià is a masterful composer of great breadth and imagination.»
Jazziz Magazine
«Manel Fortià is clearly the leader of this trio, as his bass states themes and takes frequent powerful solos. His sound (vividly captured on the recording) is huge»
Thomas Conrad – Jazz Times
«Manel Fortià has composed a set of emotional, impressionistic music for this album which is realized wonderfully by his expressive bass playing.»
Jerome Wilson – Allaboutjazz
«This recording is highly recommended especially to those who don’t know Manel Fortià – but believe me you will.»
