The BvR flamenco big band’s brand new album has landed, featuring Antonio Serrano (harmonica), David de Jacoba (voice) and Ben van Gelder (alto sax). Available for purcase on www.bernardvanrossum.com/music-store.html or download on https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/luz-de-luna/id1196392106

David de Jacoba has been referred to as the biggest emerging flamenco talent of today. His album “Jubileo” was nominated for best record in the “Cante Revelación” category by “Flamenco Hoy”. The great Paco de Lucía recruited him to join his legendary sextet, a real privilege to feature his unique voice on “la gaviota” and “y tu ni siquiera lo sabes”.

Harmonica virtuoso and member of Paco de Lucia’s band for more that decade will be a special featured on the upcoming album!
Antonio Serrano’s amazing technique and versatility have lead to over 300 collaborations, 9 albums as leader and as 10 years (and 8 world tours) alongside flamenco eminence Paco de Lucía.
Antonio has also played and/or recorded with Toots Thielemans, Wynton Marsalis, Jerry Gonzalez, Chano Dominguez, Lou Bennett, Jorge Pardo, Vicente Amigo, Tomatito, Armando Manzanero and Luis Salinas among many others.

The band will be diving into the studio next September to record “Luz de Luna”, their second album.
