UNDP COLLECTIVE - Underpool 5 Vol​.​II (March 2021 Underpool)

The second volume of Underpool 5 has arrived.

UnderPool presents the second volume of the collective linked to the label. Underpool 5 is made up of four exceptional musicians; saxophonist Gorka Benítez, pianist Roger Mas, double bassist Martín Leiton, and drummer Ramon Prats.

After the acclaim for their first disk and following a long tour, the group decided to return to the studio to record the material that makes up this second volume. The objective was to document the evolution that the quartet has undergone, achieving a sound based on the equilibrium of each of the four individual elements, and their capacity to generate a unique sound and language resulting in a distinct, immediately recognisable musical personality.

As on the former disk, each of the members of the group has provided their own original compositions which make up the material for this album, which was recorded at the UnderPool Studio.

Once again these four giants of the national jazz scene have demonstrated their quality in interpreting this deeply moving and yet uncompromising.
