Behind the poetry of the word, perfectly suited to the melodies of Jerez-Texas, there is a beautiful picture: the fertile earth full of promises, like a CD one is holding in one's hands for the first time. The trio has already shown on stage the seductive power of its music which, and that is not very common, commands respect while raising smiles. With Sao, Jerez-Texas has explored other territories in their universe. The improvisations where jazz and flamenco lightly interweave are still very much present but the three musicians, accompanied by other artists, have traded the energy deployed live for softer arrangements, with subtle shimmers and golden reflections. This is the colour of the wheat when the harvest is good. Jerez-Texas a capture sur Sao, son premier album, ce mariage chaleureux entre la fougue du flamenco, la liberte du jazz et l'elegance de la musique classique qui a deja fait la preuve sur scene de son pouvoir de seduction. Le trio s'est entoure en studio de nombreux invites (chant flamenco et valencien, accordeon, percussions, clarinette) pour etoffer l'energie delivree live avec des arrangements subtils et chatoyants. Sur Sao, ou les compositions cotoient deux audacieuses reprises de classiques de la chanson francaise (la Foule, Couleur Cafe), Jerez-Texas trace les frontieres d'un univers singulier ou coexistent poesie et virtuosite, et dont chaque auditeur risque de se transformer en ambassadeur.
