Albert Cirera & Kamarilla - Aquella Cosa (March 2022 UnderPool)

Albert Cirera is one of the most prominent saxophonists of his generation; essential for understanding the current jazz scene and one of the greatest exponents of improvisation in the last decade in Catalonia.

He has managed to develop a solid trajectory both at home and abroad which has enabled him to perform in different international scenes.

On Aquella Cosa, Cirera puts together a collection of his originals and gives them new life with this septet. The complicity they share enables them to construct a language comprising melodies, grooves, and improvisation, along with experimentation with sound, texture and form.

Albert Cirera is a mature musician; capable of expressing himself comfortably in any of the musical registers he has tackled; demonstrating that music is not so much a question of style as it is of experience.

Albert Cirera and Kamarilla make music in its purest form. Aquella Cosa will make you laugh, dance ,breathe, and live!
