Prime time vocal jazz handles challenging songs effortlessly. (CD Player).Jazzentiste Veronica Ituarte/Juan Jose Calatayud IngeniArte Every now and then the scarce local jazz scene provides glorious moments that are worth the wait. Jazzentiste, a showcase for the powerful voice of Veronica Ituarte, supported by the talent of veteran pianist Juan Jose Calatayud, marks one of those moments. Ituarte proved herself on a previous tribute album in English to classic jazz masters (Alucinaciones, 1998), by attracting the attention of New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of jazz critics. This time she's back with a collection of songs in Spanish that leave listeners breathless. Take "La Llorona," for example. The song is not only one of the most revisited traditional Mexican songs, but a difficult one to sing well. Ituarte was brave enough to open the album with it, in a seven minute memorable jazz version that easily draws listeners in. Here jazz is not a hard-to-chew style unreachable for the masses. Calatayud's impeccable piano playing piano playing Neurology A fanciful descriptor for finger movements linked to the loss of position sensation, in which the Pt seeks to discover finger position in space by periodic movement; PP occurs in Dejerine-Sottas syndrome; PP also refers to intermittent coupled with Ituarte's penetrating but discreet singing, makes the classic song suitable for jazz. Right from the beginning of the album Ituarte's voice demands full attention. The same thing can be said about the Latin American anthem "Alfonsina y el mar," a song that requires a lot of vocal training to be properly sung. Calatayud's piano and Ituarte's voice, in perfect counterpoint counterpoint, in music, the art of combining melodies each of which is independent though forming part of a homogeneous texture.

This solid pair of artists is good enough for a full concert. However, Ituarte made a wise choice in inviting two young talents to contribute: Arturo Luna on doublebass and Alejandro "Pinocho" Lopez on drums. Luna's solo opening is particularly memorable on "La Llorona" and "Alfonsina y el mar." Also notable is the beautiful song by Mario Ruiz Mario Alejandro Ruiz Díaz (born January 12, 1977 in Morelia, Michoacan) is a Mexican footballer and defender currently playing for UANL Tigres, with the number #15. He started his career in 1997 with Morelia, where he became a symbol. Armengol "Ni mentira ni verdad," arranged in such a way that Ituarte's vocals and Calatayud's piano enter into a dialogue that provides some of the best moments of the album. Although Calatayud is a big name in Mexican jazz, his role in the album is not overwhelming. Calatayud's elegant playing follows Ituarte's singing, note by note, as a trusted companion, without keeping the spotlight for himself.

Her arrangements to skat in "Bonita" are particularly brilliant. It's no wonder she teaches skat technique at the conservatory.
