New musical project of Spanish jazz pianist Iñaki Sandoval, featuring bassist Carles Benavent and Roger Blàvia on drums. Released in double format, audio CD and DVD, the album presents the live concert recorded in Barcelona in May 2014. The movie has been directed by Aarón Barreiro.
The music for this album is entirely written by Sandoval and Benavent, featuring some songs considered already classics, such Miracielos, Sausolito Hotel Existence, De perdidos al río, among others, and including four Sandovals new compositions: Joana, Gracia, Maialen, and Meet you at Trident in 15 minutes. The album electric concept Sandoval only plays here electric pianos and synthesizers, and the mixture with Benavents flamenco rhythms, gives the music a real fresh and original approach, even with the older songs. Electric Trio Live music, could be described as a combination of jazz, Mediterranean rhythms, and flamenco, all under Sandovals distinctive personal style of writing.
