Saxophonist Jorge Pardo, who has released fifteen albums since 1982, has worked with pianist Chano Domínguez among others. Twenty-four years ago, the three of them brought out a live album, El directo de Sevilla. Four years ago they followed it up with Flamenco Leaks. Three pre-eminent Spanish musicians, they are back together for a series of concerts, one of which will be for the Alternatilla Jazz Festival in Mallorca.
