When we had the CD "Normas" and we listened, we could see that it was something special, creative, within our Latin Jazz genre.
We were right, so much so that "Normas" of Juan Sebastian Garcia-Herreros was nominated for a Latin Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album.
We followed the career of Snow Owl also known as the character who with his group continues touring Europe giving concerts, taking part in festivals with an acceptance such that only you can believe watching the videos.
The reliable proof of the success of this musico pride of Latin America, especially in Colombia, the can check on your videos; Snow Owl conquered the Old Continent with his talent, performance quality, passion and delivery on stage, simplicity.
But also the triumph in Europe it spread to our continent, as we said with Latin Grammy nomination.
After several items on our websites on the activities of Juan Sebastian Garcia-Herreros 'Snow Owl' on April 14 this year our ally www.jazzglobalbeat.blogspot.com page we writes:
Juan S. Garcia-Herreros (Snow Owl) follows the path of success with "The Blue Road" and more concerts in Europe!
"If the Jazz is freedom, love and peace someone who practices it
openly: Juan S. Garcia-Herreros, also known as Snow Owl. This extraordinary
upright bassist achieved to harmonize music from different continents
of the world, varied range of music and even their musicians have different nationalities", Luis Raul Montell - www.jazzglobalbeat.blogspot.com
Snow Owl's popularity increased with his concerts, participation in festivals, without neglecting teaching.
The videos are compelling evidence of how Juan Sebastian Garcia-Herreros the public difficult the Old Continent and became his fans, his friends, his followers earned.
His dedication, talent, simplicity have allowed her to have privileged place today and aspire to more: Snow Owl is a reality.
I see seven (7) that contained trailers, interviews, musicians, travel, etc., in different languages to go gave its "The Blue Road"; Snow Owl not only demonstrated its high quality musical, escelente person, but valued his work has on self-esteem boost and that's good vibes for everyone.
I wanted to know why JSGH call this production "The Blue Road", I thought it might be on the road leading to Istanbul, where he had played back months and a bluish atmosphere is observed. I decided to leave the question for my next book "Viva The Latin Jazz !!" whose campaign starts in days- and decidedly prefer to go by "The Blue Road" that what they call Red Carpet.
The presentation of the album to the media is an example of when you want to do things right, the sound gives balance to the value of the execution, the engineer Svilen Angelov deserves a mention.
So let's enjoy an exceptional album where Snow Owl with his group achieved extraordinary African rhythms mix of European, American and, to give an eclectic Latin Jazz.
My favorite tunes are: Bu(ho)ñuelitos -que estupendo arreglo-, Bach To The Future, No Togo Ye Sadjouma y Water Giggles...It's all wonderful!
