Marcos Pin: Duology Session 1

Read "Duology Session 1" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Galician guitarist Marcos Pin is no stranger to ambitious projects. His Barbanza (Free Code Jazz Records, 2012) was a cinematic, expansive large ensemble work that fused modal jazz orchestration with his native musical heritage. His Duology is much more intimate yet no less challenging an undertaking. It will consist of ten separate sessions, each a duet ...

Marcos Pin: Duology / Barbanza

Read "Marcos Pin: Duology / Barbanza" reviewed by Chris Mosey


Marcos Pin is one of the most interesting jazz guitarists in Europe. On his latest album, Duology, the Spaniard teams up with pianist Yago Vazquez to explore the fast, fluid bebop tradition of such stellar axemen as Tal Farlow and Jimmy Raney.

Manuel Gutierrez: Illa Da Lua

Read "Illa Da Lua" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

Illa Da Lua is his debut as leader, but it's worth noting that the cover gives equal prominence to his rhythm section partners, bassist Tom Warburton and drummer Dani Dominguez.

Marcos Pin Factor E-Reset: Barbanza

Read "Barbanza" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Spanish guitarist, composer and arranger {[Marcus Pin}}'s debut as a leader of a large ensemble follows the legacy and the aesthetics of mainstream American jazz with great love and owes little to the rich musical cultures of the Iberian peninsula.

Marcos Pin Factor-E Reset: Barbanza

Read "Barbanza" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Galician guitarist Marcos Pin has recorded in trio or quartet settings for a decade, so the dectet that interprets Barbanza represents a significant change in his modus operandi. Judging by the results though, you'd think he'd been composing for larger ensembles from the get go. Inspired by the Barbanza region of Galicia in north-west Spain, you ...

Marcos Pin Factor-E Reset: Barbanza

Read "Barbanza" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Guitarist and composer Marcos Pin's seventh album, Barbanza, can readily be considered an Iberian project. The musicians are all from Spain, Pin's compositions and arrangements reflect the feelings evoked by his current homeland on the country's Barbanza Peninsula and the album was recorded in Portugal (although it was mixed and mastered in the USA). The ensemble, ...
