Tui Higgins & Xavier Monge Jazz Project

The American singer based in Spain Tui Higgins, voice instructor and multi-instrumentalist (flute, piano) and the brilliant jazz pianist from Lleida Xavier Monge published in 2013 an album entitled "Cecilia Revisited", with successful adaptations to jazz of Cecilia's music , the popular Spanish singer-songwriter, within the prestigious Quadrant Records record label, which has done so much for jazz in Spain.

San Javier Jazz wanted to rescue that beautiful music in a concert that will also include some songs by Cecilia not included on the album, and some songs from the group's latest work based on compositions by Harold Arlen.

An exceptional quintet that includes, in addition to the leaders, David Mengual on double bass, Xavi Maureta on drums and Jeppe Rasmussen on tenor sax.

Lineup:

Tui Higgins: singer.
Xavier Monge: piano.
Jeppe Rasmussen: tenor sax.
David Mengual: double-bass.
Xavier Maureta: drums.
