open Sound to their playing; one can envision a prairie, an open
landscape, blue skies. When asked who would most appreciate Jose’s
new album? He anyone who likes jazz but also has an open mind to
it”. “ Influencing Jose are favourites Pat Metheny, whose style is
most prevalent in ‘Horizonte‘ as well as Bill Frisell, Bill
Bruford, Thelonius Monk and Michel Camilo.

Jose Duque's
ZumbaTres
latest album, “Gathering in Blue” is a colourful, melodic mix of
odd meter, minor blues, Flamenco scale and Latin rock, all
skilfully complementing a jazz groundwork. This production is at
