Jazz Impact

Leonard Bernstein: Riffs

Joan Enric Lluna

Leonard Bernstein has always loomed large among the musicians who have most fascinated me. Not only did he demonstrate huge vitality and charisma as a conductor, and compose the wonderful music that is his legacy, but he worked tirelessly as a communicator and “pedagogue”. His explanations of wide-ranging aspects of music to the viewers of his television programme for children, his lectures at Harvard University and his books have all been an enormous source of information. In recognition of the centenary of his birth, we dedicate to him this recording of his works for clarinet. At the same time, we pay homage to another musician whom I greatly admire – Benny Goodman – and include two other works directly linked to the theme of this CD – the impact of jazz on Bernstein’s output. For this recording I have worked with some excellent musicians and friends to whom I would like to give my thanks for their contribution and huge talent: Juan Carlos Garvayo on piano, Voro Bolón on cello, Toni García on double bass and Ignasi Doménech on drums.
