Erik Truffaz & Antonio Lizana

The trumpeter Erik Truffaz and the musician Antonio Lizana join forces on this stop in Madrid to perform New Sketches of Spain at the Conde Duque.

This concert offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the work recorded by Miles Davis between 1959 and 1960, inspired by Spanish folklore and the Concierto de Aranjuez. Erik Truffaz is a Swiss jazz trumpeter and composer, born in 1960 in Chêne-Bougeries, who released his first album on the Blue Note label in 1997, after emerging in the early part of that decade. Antonio Lizana is a Spanish musician born in 1986 in San Fernando, linked to the Spanish music scene. On stage they are joined by Renaud Gabriel Pion, Sara Sanchéz and Pau Figueres to bring this repertoire to life, one that engages with different styles and musical traditions.

The Conde Duque cultural centre hosts this performance, part of Madrid's music programme. The meeting brings together performers from diverse backgrounds who bring to the stage one of the landmark recordings in the history of jazz, linking the trumpet and wind instruments with flamenco and electronic resources.
