From Archie Shepp new release (2011, May)
Title : WO!MAN, recorded with german piano player Joachim KÜHN (France, Meudon, 2010, Nov)
A face-to-face, in between, an intertwining of brilliance and lyricism, tradition and free songs—they transmit the idea that jazz, more than a genre in the strict sense of the term, is a circle of influence, an expanse, a field, a space-time that holds all the sounds in the world, encompasses the entire history of the vast continuum of Black-American music—a collusion of soft and clashing sounds, with the sole and ultimate aim of achieving even greater freedom.

Carles Trepat
Guitarra Antonio Torres, Almería 1892

Cuerdas de tripa y seda Pirastro de principios del siglo XX*, procedentes del estuche de una guitarra de Enrique García que perteneció a Magí Esteve, discípulo de Tárrega y Llobet.

Era casi media noche del 24 o 25 de noviembre de 1915, en el puerto de Barcelona se oían sonidos de guitarras y laúdes. Un grupo de alumnos de Miguel Llobet, que partía rumbo a Nueva York con su íntimo amigo Enrique Granados y Amparo Gal, la esposa del gran compositor, había acudido a despedirles.
