latest unobtainium music


I stopped into the NPR music blog today and ran across this:

Flamenco Jazz

They have a link where you can listen to one Pedro Iturralde cut.

Impressive. I want it.

But it appears to be made of unobtainium...in a cd format at least. :-(

Just between you & I..any leads? (one can hope)

Iturralde/de Lucia album rarely appears on e-bay on both cd and lp. Not cheap. Being a fan of flamenco and jazz/rock fusion, I am not impressed at all.
Flamenco and Jazz are very different and do not fuse easily. The best I heard was John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucia duo and also trio with Al di Meola. And it was all possible because of McLaughlin's genius to mix things that seem unmixable. He taught Paco de Lucia how to do it when it comes to fusing flamenco with jazz, jazz/rock and who knows what else.
Find their music on youtube; the best are usually when they were much younger from 1980s.
Thank you, Isochronism.
Yes, I know all these albums. Que Alegria is excellent and the composition called Reincarnation is a true masterpiece, one of John's best.
There are some good cuts from Music Spoken Here album.
Now I'll go listen to "Visions Of The Emerald Beyond".
