Dani Perez trio + Benet Palet - Contrafacts (December 2021 UnderPool)

An irrefutable reference point on the current scene, Dani Pérez takes up this new project on the heels of his prior success Resumen. On this new release, he makes full use of his talent, irony and sense of humour to turn these compositional games called contrafacts into energetic compositions that display the richness of the group’s language.

The addition of Benett Pelet on trumpet and Txema Riera on Rhodes (on tracks 4 and 7) for this album, brings new textures to Dani Perez’s music, without losing the essential qualities that characterise this group’s long trajectory.

This album transmits complicity and emotions; it was recorded live at underpool studios by Sergi Felipe. It reflects the personality traits of the guitarist, composer and educator who has never ceased to forge an outstanding trajectory.

Contrafacts is available on a carefully prepared vinyl edition with cover art by Pedro Stukelj and liner notes by journalist Josep Mestres.

“Dani Perez is a fountain of ideas; a mastermind of routes and short cuts that would have never occurred to us, a crafter of apparently simple phrases which are imbued with an implicit immenseness. If contrafacts didn’t already exist, he would have invented them. Definitely.”

El guitarrista Dani Pérez publica "Resumen" (underpool 2016), su tercer disco como líder, acompañado por su trio habitual, formado por los reconocidos David Mengual y David Xirgu.

Las siete composiciones que forman parte de "Resumen" surgen de las vivéncias, deseos y anhelos más íntimos de Dani Pérez, que describe con su música el universo que lo rodea, la banda sonora que el mismo quisiera escuchar, donde nos muestra un poderoso lenguage, tan admirado por su público.
