The meeting between Chano Domínguez and All About Jazz took place hours after the opening ceremony of the 41st Barcelona International Vol-Damm Jazz Festival, starring Wayne Shorter. Chano's enthusiasm is contagious: “Wayne Shorter's quartet is a fully fledged group with very clear objectives and led by one of the greatest living jazz legends," says Chano, who even though he was completing his next record with his flamenco quartet, did not miss the chimerical evening featuring the saxophonist, pianist Danilo Pérez, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade.

Chano, the pianist from Cídiz, will close the Barcelona Jazz Festival in style at The Jazz Standard in New York, December 3-6, 2009, with a fierce flamenco reading of the late trumpeter's iconic Kind of Blue (Columbia, 1959), that debuted on November 12, 2009 and was relished in L'Auditori in Barcelona.

AAJ Contributor Guillem Vidal spoke with Dominguez, about turning Kind of Blue into a flamenco tour de force and, just as significantly, without the participation of a trumpeter. They also discuss Dominguez's ongoing relationship with Wynton Marsalis, and how there's plenty of cross-pollination going on in both directions.
