"I love it...I´m so honored for them to take this music to such an incredible place"
Pat Metheny.

Santiago talks about the project:

“…For some time now, I have wanted to undertake a more in-depth study of Jazz. At last I have found the motivation, need and courage to do it.

It is about this time that I come upon the music of Pat Metheny. Although I have been listening to this great artist for years, it is only now, having got into his way of thinking, that I am truly understanding and enjoying his work.

That is what lies at the root of this project. A project produced by a flamenco artist, but purely about jazz.

I feel that Pat Metheny has long been deserving of homage by flamenco guitarists. Without knowing it, he has had a transcendental influence on the new generation of flamenco guitarists, me included.

While some flamenco artists have already dedicated works to him, nobody has yet tried to produce a new version of his work, in the context of flamenco guitar. That is what this project involves.

I selected the works that I felt were most apt to this task and I am taking them over to flamenco guitar as best I can. The challenge I face is as complicated for me as it is stimulating and productive.

As I said to Pat Metheny when he invited me to know this projet personally, it remains for me to make record that I am doing this for love of music and with all the respect that this great artist deserves.”
