Toni Solà Quartet, presentació CD ” Waiting for common sense”

About

Toni Solà García tenor saxophone · Gerard Nieto Cunillera piano · Juan Ignacio González Tejada double bass and electric bass · Xavier Hinojosa López drums With a long-standing career and eight albums as a bandleader, Toni Solà is one of the leading tenor saxophonists in the deeply-rooted jazz scene. The repertoire of the Toni Solà Quartet draws, as usual, from the warmest side of jazz, rooted in its origins, with a strong blues influence that is present in every piece in one way or another, extending to hard-bop and soul jazz. The common denominator is a constant tribute to powerful-sounding tenor saxophonists such as Dexter Gordon , Illinois Jacquet , Johnny Griffin , Gene Ammons , Stanley Turrentine , and Sonny Rollins , some of whose compositions are performed. The repertoire also includes swing classics, ballads, and several compositions by the bandleader.
