Christian Howes & The Horacio Icasto Quartet Live in Madrid Lauded as Downbeat Magazine's # 2 rising star, up-and-comer, Christian Howes has wowed fellow performers and audiences alike with his explosive violin stylings, that have caused him to be called "the Jazz Paganini" and "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin". This episode, took place at the Cafe Concert "La Fidula", a live music bar in the historical "Barrio de las Letras in Madrid". They have concerts every day, with the best Spanish songwriters, as well as jazz, in a lovely and quiet atmosphere. Christian Howes sidemen are 4 of the greatest jazz players in SPAIN. Horacio Icasto (piano), Santiago Reyes (guitar), Victor Merlo (bass), Noah Shaye (drums). With them, Christian Howes displays his mastery of the idiom. With a special dedication to Argentine pianist and band leader Horacio Icasto, who left our world too soon (1941-2013). A kind of carnival of music, happiness, joy and very dancable tunes with host Toni Basanta. www.cubanbridge.wordpress.com
