MUSICAL MINIATURES OF GRANELL: this is a kind of project that aCentral Folque's team loves. Research + PRODUCTION (Book-CD + Band) + concerts. It is their flagship project for 2013: a free-jazz band led by the Cuban pianist Alejandro Vargas (Cubadisco jazz award) in which they recreate melodies composed by the Galician artist Eugenio Granell. Granell is a landmark of the twentieth century surrealist painting. But Granell was also a musician. In his Foundation, Ramon Pinheiro (director and researcher of aCentral Folque) found more than 200 unreleased music notations. From these annotations are born Granell Musical Miniatures jazz quartet, that plays it masterfully.
