Jordi Sabatès - Ocells del Mes Enlla 1975 - DR 12




Following up the excellent yesterday's upload by Nahavanda, this is another fantastic album of exquisite and delicate prog/fusion from the prolific Spanish scene of the 70s. It features great work by Jordi Sabates (also known for his collaborations with Jarka, Pau Riba, Toti Soler, and for a number of solo piano works) on keyboards, accompanied by drums, percussion, bass, electric guitar, some female vocals and flamenco guitar. "Ocells Del Mes Enlla" is an extremely elaborated and inspired effort, very well composed and paced, and executed with brilliance. I would rate it just as high as the best albums by Musica Urbana, Companyia Electrica Dharma, and Iceberg which I consider to be the cream of the crop of the Spanish jazz fusion. Hope you will enjoy this one.
