Ensemble Progresivo - Hesitancy (May 2021)

The concept of Progression in this record is ever-present in the work of this band. Following the principle of non-repetition and ephimeral existence that free improvised music has at its core, the Ensemble Progresivo aims to draw upon what they like to call "Progressions": pieces where the structures is prearranged using a combination of references and musical elements work out by Ricardo Tejero, achieveing a different form every time a new "Progression" is played.

In this way, every time the band performs they play a different "written progression", or piece, never to be repeated again. There are now 27 progressions writen and played.

In this album there are a number of pieces played by the whole band and 4 pieces where Ricardo Tejero makes a duo with each memeber of the band.
