Daniel Giron is influenced by the contemporary flamenco sounds of Paco De Lucia, the old-school rumba that his father loved, and his classical training. On his album "Prisma," he adds some jazz flavoring to his compositions, and we'll hear the lovely "Andalusian Glow" on the show this Saturday.
When you think of flamenco, you usually think of guitars. But Chano Dominguez, born in Andalusia, manages to bring the flamenco feel to his piano along with modern jazz and world music influences. This week, we'll hear Chano's tune "Fumando (Smoking)" from the 2003 album "Iman." Here's Chano with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and a fun display of flamenco vs. tap dancing from a 2009 concert.
Jazz Caliente airs Saturdays at 5 p.m. The show is hosted by Robin Lloyd and produced by KNKX Public Radio.
