Javier Colina - Si Te Contara

Review by Daniel Kent

Javier Colina's Si Te Contara is an exceptional album that showcases the artist's mastery of the double bass. The album features a collection of jazz standards and original compositions that are both playful and introspective. Colina's skillful playing is complemented by the contributions of his talented bandmates, including pianist Albert Sanz and drummer Daniel García Bruno.

The album's opening track, "El Manisero," is a lively tribute to the Cuban composer Moisés Simons. Colina's bass lines are infectious, and Sanz's piano playing adds a touch of elegance to the piece. The album's title track, "Si Te Contara," is a beautiful ballad that showcases Colina's sensitive approach to the bass. The track features a lovely melody and some beautiful soloing by Sanz.

Other highlights of the album include "El Tren de las 3," a playful tune that features some impressive interplay between Colina and García Bruno, and "La Tarde," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that is one of the album's standout tracks.

Summary by Daniel Kent

Si Te Contara is a wonderful album that will appeal to fans of jazz and Latin music alike. Colina's virtuosic playing and the tight interplay between the members of his band make this a must-listen for anyone who appreciates great music.
