About Luis Verde
With saxophonist/composer Luis Verde, potent jazz improvisation fuses with bold, playful and surprising composition. He’s one of the most remarkable and distinctive Contemporary Jazz musicians of his generation in Spain. A striking saxophonist and curious mind at large, Luis’s latest project, “Vientos Cruzados” (his third album as a sole leader) draws upon the musical wisdom of Mark Schilders (drums), Moises Sánchez (piano & keyboard) and Reinier Elizarde (double bass).

“…[Luis] is, without a doubt, one of the greatest intellectual creators of jazz made in our country, a musician who uses his vast knowledge to move you.”
“In the sound world of “IN LAK’ECH – HALA K’IN”, the instrumental virtuosity and musical wisdom of all participants are given at hand, with the restless imagination of a select composer.”
