Salan, Jorge -& The Mystic Jaywalkers-
Graffire
Considered to be one of the best guitarist from Spain, Jorge Salan introduces his latest project, The Majestic Jaywalkers (Juan Carlos Gibaja on bass, Edu Brenes on drums and Pau Alvarez on keyboards) and their debut release, 'Madrid/Texas'. The album features 9 smoking renditions of Blues classics. This is a complete album from top to bottom. It is a record that need to played entirely and enjoyed as such. Jorge Salan's guitar work is fantastic and the band sounds as if they are having the time of their lives. Jorge Salan's tone is amazing and wears his influecnes with pride and acknowledges them, more so that he puts them into overdrive and takes these Blues classics to new heights. Jorge Salan' and The Mystic Jaywalkers takes the listener through the album, song by song, taking you by surprise many times, delighting your ears with familiar yet somehow very fresh sounds built around the loose constructs of blues rock. If you like the electric blues and the "old school" sound from the past you should check this recording out! Jorge Salan has the ability to mix various genres and influences into his style of blues and his talent on guitar puts him over the top in my book. - Highly Recommended!!!
