A new sound erupts when flamenco and jazz meet Traditional flamenco has been gaining traction outside Southern Spain for some time and has found new facets in its expression by meeting other genres around the world. Flamenco Jazz Experience introduced the Spanish music to jazz, resulting in new sound and rhythms.

I Flamenco Jazz Experience opstår et særligt møde mellem jazz og flamenco. To traditioner, som på trods af deres forskellighed har meget at byde hinanden, når man åbner for de indre strukturer. Flamenco Jazz Experience har taget udfordringen op, gået i dybden og udviklet til sin helt egen sound, hvor flamencoguitar, cajónspil, flamencosang, klap og dansetrin mixer med jazztrommer, kontrabas og blæserklange.
Gruppens nyskrevne materiale trækker på gamle flamencorytmer, nutidige fusionsklange og meget mere, som har fundet vej ind i det musikalske univers, hvor udtrykket både er jazzens improvisationer og spansk passion. Og det har overrasket og begejstret publikum.
Ved Århus og Københavns jazzfestivaler har Flamenco Jazz Experience fået anmelderroser som ”en sound med fine overraskende effekter”, og ”nye linjer, indfald og udfald - med Flamenco Jazz Experience klæder de to genrer virkelig hinanden”.
Bag Flamenco Jazz Experience er en række spændende profiler bl.a. flamencosangeren og -danseren Maria Glisic, der er blandt de bedste herhjemme, cajón-spilleren Stephan Jarl, der spiller med topflamencomusikere i Madrid og arbejder worldwide med danseren Selene Muñóz. Saxofonisten Florian Navarro, som er kendt for sit legende virtuose spil og medlem af Århus Jazz Orquestra, trommeslageren Ulrik Bisgaard, som har markeret sig med samarbejder med kendte Buenos Aires-musikere, bassisten Jens Jefsen er en kendt sværvægter, der har spillet med en lang række danske og internationale navne, og kapelmester og guitarist Jens Viggo Fjord, som har leveret kvalitetsflamenco i en årrække og samarbejdet med fremtrædende spanske flamencokunstnere.
