Check Out JC's new, amazing solo album: Mediterranova

portada 

In "MEDITERRANOVA" we will find songs which are a tribute to such important moments as those lived in the 70's with it's fusion which taught us so much; to the already legendary "Whisky Jazz" club in Madrid, I lived moments filled with music there; to the 80's soft jazz, so optimistic and full of life; to the Mediterranean music of the 80's and 90's, being a mediterranean as I am; to all new music in general; also to those moments lived this year, in March 2004; to my marvelous basses; to situations such as leaving home and returning to it a long time afterwards; to that feeling of dying a little with every trip you make and changing habits; to the marvelous world of children's fantasies and dreams in their joy of merely existing and living just because, to feelings, fantasies and encouragements that in this life one has to give oneself if you want to continue being a little happy, as someone once said somewhere "Music... ... what a beautiful form of art, but what a horrible profession" and even so I think I reflect my great love of music and the important moments of indescribable happiness which it has allowed me to experience; I hope you will be able to fly and feel with these sincere songs, and if possible, feel peace and love as you listen to them, thank you form this very moment, for listening to me.
