This Is Flamenco Jazz

Dirk K is a contemporary jazz and fusion player, while Dan Sistos is a flamenco artst - the two phenomenal guitarists were drawn together by their mutual appreciation for their different styles of music. The result of their collaboation is their debut CD as Acoustic Journey: This Is Flamenco Jazz. Flamenco Jazz uses authentic flamenco rhythms such as the rumba and the buleria, and combines these with swing elements such as walking bass lines and bebop runs. The CD features Monk's "Round Midnight", Miles Davis' "So What" and "Blue In Green", and "Dolphin Dance" by Herbie Hancock, among others. Included as well are two Dirk K original compositions. Acoustic Journey's unique approach towards these jazz standards is innovative and original. With bassists John Leftwich and Joerg Kleutgens and percussionist Pete Korpela, This Is Flamenco Jazz is truly a modern masterpiece.
