Description

An enchanting blend of jazz and flamenco by a guitar and double bass duo returns to the Fringe, unveiling their latest CD recorded in their Seville hometown. 'Tonight’s was a shining example of where curiosity can take flamenco, and was surely a jewel in this year’s Fringe.' (ScottishJazzSpace.co.uk). 'There’s an often fierce improvisational dialogue between the duo’s guitar and bass, sometimes sparring with each other, sometimes snapping into unison' **** (Scotsman). Flamenco's fiery passion blends seamlessly with jazz's spontaneous exploration and improvisation in an enthralling concert by Philip Adie and Luis Salto.

I went to this show last night. Absolutely loved it. Great intimate venue where two very talented musicians from Seville created an amazing atmosphere with a very interesting fusion between flamenco guitar music and jazz. The guitar playing by Philip Adie was so vibrant, beautifully accompanied by Luis Salto's double base. I totally recommend it. This show takes you back to what the Fringe festival used to be all about.

Went to Philip Adie solo show last week and couldn't wait to go back to Alba Flamenco for this Jazz Session. Very unusual sounds (to me ) but very deep and pleasing. Definitely recommend... Plus - this time- ate at Tapas3 beforehand (literally just a curtain away from the venue!!!!). Lovely food and sangria and then safely in our seats 5 seconds later !!!! Brilliant evening

Venue smaller than my flat, no staff, just 2 talented guys, 2 instruments and minimal amplification. What the fringe is all about, loved the show and left wanting more.

Excellent late night music. I thoroughly enjoyed this unusual combination of double bass and flamenco guitar, with minimal amplification in the intimate setting of the Alba Flamenca dance studio. Philip Adie's guitar leads with a strong flamenco accent but generally remains outside conventional flamenco song structures. The guitar is perfectly complemented by Luis Salto's exceptionally tuneful jazz bass and the combination is a highly original blend of flamenco and jazz traditions.

Would highly recommend this show, beautiful music in a small venue. I have previously seen the flamenco fiesta and the flamenco guitar odyssey shows at this venue in previous years and all have been very high quality. The musicians are very talented and it was interesting to hear the flamenco music combined with jazz.
