"Le jazzman espagnol des annèes 90. Un improvisateur de aute volée"
P. Ardonceau, Jazz Magazine, Février 1998

"Tebar´s jawdropping virtuosity is a striking as his ability to swing hard with a deep blues feeling, filtered through Wes Montgomery via Paco de Lucia. Tebar is exploding onto the international jazz scene with a wholly original Mediterranean sensibility."
T. Berne, Billboard-Music&Media March 2003

"Ximo Tebar's evolution has been astonishing, strating from a Be-Bop tradition, he has been incorporating different influences which range from flamenco airs to certain pop & fussion touches."
Jazz Dictionary, 1995 M. Muchnick Editions

"Eclectic and daring, the music of Ximo Tébar opts for the future"
Enciclopedia El Jazz en España 1919-1996 , Alianza Editorial

"Extolled by both the Spanish and International specialist press, Tébar has been lanced as virtuoso, sensitive, possessor of an intense and colourist feeling, innovator, and one of the best Spanish jazz musicians"
Juan Claudio Cifuentes, RTVE - RNE

NEW CD CELEBRATING ERIK SATIE - BUY NOW!!
Precio: 15,00 € / MODERN JAZZ FUSSION

Erik Satie en clave de jazz contemporáneo. Sin renunciar a su peculiar estilo, que combina el lenguaje tradicional del jazz con moldes musicales propios del jazz contemporáneo, y permeable a influencias de otros géneros como el funky o el flamenco, Ximo Tébar ha decidido rendir tributo a la figura de un músico inclasificable, el francés Erik Satie. Satie (1866-1925) fue un compositor y pianista cuya vida y obra están presididas por la genialidad, la excentricidad y la irreverencia. Aunque comenzó estudios formales, no llegó a acabarlos, y prefirió a cambio trabajar en los cabarets parisinos. Muchas de sus obras exhiben una sencillez y un lirismo inconfundibles, y ejercieron influencia sobre Debussy y Ravel entre otros contemporáneos suyos. Se le considera precursor del minimalismo.
