Jazz Guitar Today takes time to spotlight guitarists when they fill those guest performance shoes on tracks. On Daniel Garcia’s Wonderland… Gilad Hekselman
For a long time, its lively centers of Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville tended to stay somewhat detached from the international jazz world. But in recent years a whole generation of Spanish jazz musicians has been rising to international renown: it is more than a cohort, it is starting to feel like a movement. And one key figure in it is pianist Daníel Garcia, born
in Salamanca in 1983. With his trio, he has made a name for himself as one of the most important representatives of jazz in his home country – playing over 300 concerts throughout Europe and as far away as Japan. “Wonderland” is the Daniel García Trio’s third album on
ACT.
Gilad is featured on the title track below.
