Through his solo work and as a longtime member of the Paco de Lucía Group, saxophonist and flute player Jorge Pardo has been recognized as a vital part of the “new flamenco” movement in Spain, as well as a leading practitioner of jazz “con feeling Latino.” On Las Cigarras Son Quizá Sordas (“Perhaps the cicadas are deaf”), his fourth and finest record, Pardo creates a warm and extroverted sound in a common language between flamenco and jazz, ably assisted by some of his talented peers.
