Agustí Fernández on All About Jazz

Mark Corroto wrote: “Fernández was commissioned by Mbari Música's label chief João Santos to create a solo recording with a starting point of Spanish regional themes, mostly fragments of nostalgia in minor keys and slow rhythms. The pianist internalized the sounds, patterns, and more importantly the emotions of the Spanish piano tradition to deliver a document not unlike another famed improviser's reflective recording, that of Keith Jarrett’s The Melody At Night, With You (ECM, 1999). Like Jarrett, the pianist reins in his technique in service of his forefathers and in honor of memory. But, that is not to say that this is anything but an Agustí Fernández recording”.
