Joan Monné, Santi de la Rubia, Òscar Latorre & Rai Ferrer - New Bottles, Old Wine (2024) [Official Digital Download]

With this new project, Joan Monné offers us a handful of old compositions, recorded in previous projects, such as his own trio, the Nou Nonet or the quartet with Carme Canela, performed by a new formation of a quartet without drums. He is accompanied by Rai Ferrer on double bass, with whom he had already shared multiple formations years ago; Santi de la Rubia on the saxophone, which had been part of his nonet; and Óscar Latorre on the trumpet, with whom he collaborates for the first time. A formation, then, where the veterans of Monné and Ferrer meet with the youth of Latorre and de la Rubia, at the service of a music where lyricism and a way of doing things that may be old, but which is always in search of beauty.
