There are Jazz artists whose creativity is devoted to the permanent search for themselves. An inner journey that must imply a high dose of risk, deconstruct to build and give life to what it was not before. The sublime does not necessarily have to be liked by the general public or perhaps it does, maybe it only responds to the designs of an unfathomable mind that creates its own language that vibrates for anyone who approaches with courage, devoid of prejudices, no incorrect notes or unnecessary tensions, whoever wants to listen, just listen.
For the guitarist and composer Chema Saiz the journey began at an early age, training in classical music and Spanish popular music, entering his teenage years in Jazz by Sean Levitt, John Abercrombie, Jerry Bergonzy or Dave Liebman among others. Higher degree in classical guitar, he has combined his pedagogical activity over the years in Jazz schools as well as teaching numerous seminars and master classes throughout the world. With a more than prolific career as a composer, he has six albums published under his authorship in addition of being co-author of the work “Agua con gusto” with Uruguayan writer and musician Leo Maslíah. Restless guitarist and in constant search, he has collaborated with countless artists and projects throughout the years touring the main Jazz and guitar festivals in numerous countries.
“Solo Album volume II” is a musical chapter written by an inscrutable mind in constant search. A work full of virtuosity that does not run away from risk at any time to dismantle and rebuild its own influences giving new meaning to what it was. Chema Saiz is a unique guitarist, a creator who invents in each composition a language that vibrates for anyone who approaches with courage, without prejudices or labels, whoever wants to feel, just feel.
