* A declaration of love to flamenco, a proof that jazz is a universal language beyond all bounds, and--above all--an homage to one of the greatest poets of the 20th century! * Vince Mendoza is one of the most notable contemporary jazz composers and arrangers. Her has received four Grammy Awards and a whopping 17 nominations. He is one of the most sought-after arrangers and a giant in both jazz and pop (Björk, Sheryl Crow, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello, Dianne Reeves). "Deeply substantive yet wholly accessible, Mendoza daringly expands the vernacular by including elements of abstract impressionism, romanticism, and a highly unorthodox palette to position him as the clear and natural successor to the late Gil Evans." -- All About Jazz
