A disciple of Arturo Pavón, the pianist and composer from Cádiz, Sergio Monroy is one of the most solid stars of flamenco piano, with a spectacular live performance which also showcases his jazz influence. In the 14th edition of Jazz San Javier, he presented a fondly remembered performance, not only musically, but because of his friendliness with the audience. With the occasion of the release of this third album Como un Juego (Like a Game), the Festival has invited him on to its stage once more. This time he returns with a renovated sextet to present his new recordings, and by request of Jazz San Javier, a tribute to the great guitarist Paco de Lucía, with a recreation of compositions by the best flamenco guitarists of all time.
