Daniel García’s second album for ACT, “Vía de la Plata” (2021) has brought out the superlatives from critics worldwide: NDR Kultur wrote about how his trio’s playing “shimmers, shines and glitters, assuring the most pleasurable listening from the first note to the last.” For more than a decade, García has set himself the goal of “bringing original Spanish music into a new context […] and making all stylistic dividing lines invisible.” His profound knowledge of the history of Spanish music – flamenco but other parallel local traditions as well – and of jazz and classical music ensure that he can draw at any moment from many wells of inspiration and find fascinating and lively connecting threads between them.
