About me
“… that powerful Franco-American model, brilliantly adapted to a Hispanic symphonic language-one that merges Albéniz like lyricism with jazz inflections and flamenco flourishes. It is within this lineage that the music of Martínez Vera finds its voice.
His is a bold artistic vision in a world of high art music still dominated by the experimental.
But, fortunately, Ginés Martínez Vera writes beautiful music. And beauty is not the privilege of the elite, it is a necessary sustenance for all.”
Álvaro Zaldívar Gracia – Professor of Aesthetics and Music History.
“Ginés has the perfect combination of brain and heart.”
Atso Almila – Professor at Sibelius Academy in Finland.
“This man conducts jazz very well. He feels, knows the style, the history…”
