The Changes Music presents the 3rd album as a leader of Lluc Casares, "Septet"
Lluc Casares (Barcelona, 1990) is a saxophonist and clarinetist, fond of composition and arrangements for different instrumental formats. He has recorded more than 20 albums as a sideman and is part of the groups Smack Dab and The Gramophone Allstars. He has played at some of the most important festivals in Europe such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, Marciac Jazz Festival, Jazz Middelhein, Baloise Session, and the Terrassa Jazz Festival among others.
Septet narrates the return of Lluc to his hometown after 2 years living in New York and represents the enthusiasm and joy
of playing again with his lifelong friends who at the same time are some of the best musicians of the Barcelona scene. Echoes of Duke Ellington, Herbie Hancock or Wynton Marsalis resonate on this album where the vast majority of the pieces are original compositions plus a couple of arrangements of songs by Cedar Walton and Frank Strozier.
