Andalusians Enrique Oliver and Daniel Torres lead Tenorism, a quintet dedicated to the sound of the tenor saxophone and the jazz style of the 1940s and 1950s—swing, bebop and hard bop. That was an illustrious period with iconic recordings by tenors such as Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. Oliver and Torres, two of the most important musicians in contemporary Spanish jazz, recover the most authentic spirit of that time with a first-rate band. And if that wasn't enough, they have a collaborator of firecrackers and handkerchiefs: tenor Rick Margitza, a regular musician alongside Miles Davis in the 1980s, as well as Elis Marsalis, McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, Maria Schneider and a long list of others, in addition to recording several albums of his own with the Blue Note label.
