Lluc Casares - Septet (2021)

The Changes presents the 3rd album as a leader of Lluc Casares, "Septet" (TC014). Septet narrates the return of Lluc to his hometown after 2 years living in New York and represents the enthusiasm and joy of playing again with his lifelong friends who at the same time are some of the best musicians of the Barcelona scene. Echoes of Duke Ellington, Herbie Hancock or Wynton Marsalis resonate on this album where the vast majority of the pieces are original compositions plus a couple of arrangements of songs by Cedar Walton and Frank Strozier.
