Personnel: Jorge Pardo (flute, soprano & tenor saxophones), Gina Machon, El Potito (vocals), Jose Miguel Carmona (guitar), Carles Benavent (mandolin, bass), Rubem Dantas (berimbau, box, yembe, pans, percussion), Jesus Pardo (synthesizer), Carlos Carli (drums, box), Bondo Fernandez (tabla), Antonio Carmona (box, percussion), Conchi Heredia "Chonchi" (background vocals). Engineers: Jose Luis Garrido (tracks 1-2, 4-12); Gugu Martinez (track 3). Recorded at Musitron and Quarzo, Madrid, Spain. All songs written or co-written by Jorge Pardo or Jesus Pardo except "Caravan" (Ellington/Tizol/Mills), "Round Midnight" (Monk/Williams-Hanighen), "Tomili Maguro" (Carles Benavent) and "Michelle" (John Lennon/Paul McCartney). Flautist/saxophonist Jorge Pardo is a leading proponent of nuevo flamenco. On his fifth release, he pushes the envelope, presenting jazz standards and pop alongside more traditional compositions. "Caravan" lends itself well to rhythmic interpretations, but the arrangement degenerates midway into a dark-toned muddle. "'Round Midnight" and "Michelle," presented simply with flute and guitar, fare better, coming across as pleasant, "light jazz" renditions. The balance of the compositions are mostly by Pardo, and make his case more persuasively. ~ Janet Rosen
