Each year, the Xàbia Jazz Festival, organized by Javea town council and Instituto Valenciano de la Música, selects a musician based in the region of Valencia to carry out a special musical project, which is then recorded for release. This CD contains the music premiered by Ximo Tébar during the 8th edition of the festival.
Without sacrificing its distinctive style, which combines the traditional language of jazz with musical molds own contemporary jazz, and open to influences from other genres such as Flamenco, the great jazz guitarist Ximo Tébar has decided to pay tribute to the figure of a musician unclassifiable, the French Erik Satie.
Satie (1866-1925) was a pianist and composer whose life and work are chaired by the genius, eccentricity and irreverence. Many of his works exhibit a simplicity and an unmistakable lyricism, and exerted influence on Debussy and Ravel and others of his contemporaries. He is considered a precursor of minimalism.

Notes:
Tébar performs Satie from and with this identification key that contains the code in such a way that the music becomes a mirror, therefore, a reflection, and even more so, a thought.
