Pere Miró - Camarades (November 2, 2021)

Pere Miró is a baritone saxophone player most active in the jazz, R&B and jamaican Barcelona scene. He plays regularly with his projects Scaramanga, Insistim and Camarades and as a member of the Gramophone Allstars Big Band and the great honker Dani Nel·lo. Beside his role as a blower, he also composes, writes music arrangements and teaches music. He'd recorded more than 40 albums.
