Our debut CD Quartet Equinox - Flamenco Jazz is featuring all original compositions by Dirk K. He collected a great variety of compositions featuring a very unique symbiosis of all acoustic instruments.
The style of music is categorized as Flamenco and Jazz, simply because it uses original flamenco rhythms such as the Buleria, Rumba and Solea and many more and mixes them with Swing elements and chords, utilizing the cool vibe of Jazz, but keeping the excitement of Flamenco. So this is not traditional music, this is a new fusion of styles, keeping an all acoustic feel. All the musicians are featured on this CD. Melodies are played by everyone even the Bass Clarinet is taking the lead in a composition called "Solista". The CD was recorded Live on
May 1st and 2nd 2007 at Eagle Rock Studios, Los Angeles, CA.
The photo for our CD Design is created by our friend Gil Mares in titled: "Blue Line". Please visit his Web site at: www.GilMaresPhoto.com

Truly Flamenco jazz. Fantastic new project.
author: Brigit Henderson
I listen to it the first time and I could not turn it off. Absolutely stunning CD. A true mix of Flamenco and Jazz.The. compositions are absolutely beautiful, but at the same time very interesting. The arrangements and use of different instruments such as the bass clarinet is outstanding. The guitar work is incredible. It is a mix of Paco de Lucia meets Pat Metheny.
the sax solo on Woodstock to Hollywood in 15 is incredible. A must have. I highly recommend it.
