En un contexto cultural globalizado, en el que las corrientes de moda y uniformidad son establecidas a través de los algoritmos que dirigen nuestra mirada, la búsqueda de una voz propia en las raíces se ha convertido en una enorme fuente de inspiración para músicos de distintos ámbitos y géneros. Una búsqueda que, en el caso de Madrid, una tierra que siempre mira más hacia afuera que hacia adentro, se convierte en un descubrimiento de ritmos, melodías e instrumentos casi desconocidos pero con toda la capacidad para seguir transmitiendo emociones únicas y poderosas en el futuro. Trombonist, composer and arranger. Jorge Moreno has a degree in Jazz and Contemporary Music Performance from the Centro Superior Música Creativa. Jorge has been a part of numerous musical projects led by some of the most prominent names in by some of the most outstanding names in the national jazz scene, such as Moisés P. Sánchez, Luis Verde or Roberto Pacheco.
