The Biel Ballester Trio from Barcelona, Spain is composed of Biel Ballester (gtr), Graci Pedro (rhythm gtr) and Leandro Hipaucha (double bass). They are a trio ensemble from Barcelona, Spain, who play Gypsy Swing/Jazz, a style pioneered by the late great gypsy guitar genius Dajngo Reinhardt, who fused traditional gypsy songs with parisian bal musette with improvisational american jazz. The Trio gives this music a modern slant, adopting new rhythm forms such as the bossa nova, bolero and rumba, and contributing creatively with their own compostitions and original takes on classic songs of this genre.
Recorded partly at Radio HeyNow and partly at Le QuecumBar, London's world premier Gypsy Swing venue, this album captures The Biel Ballester Trio's modern, original take on Gypsy Swing in a live, intimate performance. Featuring 24 tracks, including 2 bonus tracks, of original compositions and Gypsy Jazz classics, this recording shows the Trio's versatility, virtuosity and passion, as well as their creativity in adopting new rhythm forms such as the bossa nova, bolero and rumba to breathe fresh energy into this genre.
