"Sea ahead" is the second album by the double bass player born in Santiago de Compostela, Alfonso Calvo, this time in a septet formation. All the compositions on the album are original and explore the enormous arranging possibilities of a medium format ensemble like this one; the references to hard bop and modal jazz are evident, without losing the personal focus. The septet is made up of some of the most relevant musicians on the Galician jazz scene:
Pablo Castaño: alto and soprano saxophones
Xosé Miguélez: tenor sax, flute
Rubén Salvador: trumpet, flugelhorn
Bruno Valle: trombone
Iago Mouriño: piano
Alfonso Calvo: double bass, composition and arrangements
Naíma Acuña: drums
Special guest Ton Risco: vibraphone
