The Autonomous Region of Galicia, Spain has been slowly nurturing a strong jazz scene in recent decades. The extremely accomplished Abe R��bade (piano) and Paco Charl��n (bass) crossed the Atlantic Ocean over two decades ago to study at the prestigious Berklee College Of Music in Boston. Upon their return to Galicia they established the "Seminario Permanente de Jazz" in the city of Pontevedra, a seminal institution in the popularization of jazz in the region. Through their network of relationships with American jazz musicians, they were able to foster collaborations between internationally renowned jazz figures and local residents. Within years remarkable Galician musicians such as Iago Fern��ndez, Yago V��zquez, Xan Campos, or Naima Acu?a emerged and began to gather national and international recognition, extending their reach beyond Europe and serving as an inspiration to younger musicians in Galicia.

Guitarist, composer, and producer Daniel Casares, from A Coru?a, Spain (1995) began his musical journey through classic rock and blues in an intimate setting, eventually joining rock bands as a teenager. Following the footsteps of R��bade and Charl��n he moved to Boston to attend the Berklee College of Music, where he was introduced to jazz music, an event that would greatly impact the development of his career.
