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 Fortia 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.»
