Super excited to join forces with this living legend of the Flamenco bass Carles Benavent, a man who played among others with Chick Corea, Miles Davis and Paco de Lucia. In addition to the BvR Flamenco big band music, van Rossum will be especially arranging some of Benavent’s pieces for this concert.

The BvR Flamenco Big Band will be working with Jose Quevedo “Bolita” and his band (Paquito Gonzalez, Londro, Pablo Martin Caminero) to put together a mixed program featuring compositions from both Jose and Bernard van Rossum. A privilege to collaborate with these top Flamenco artists.
