Trio 31416 - Trio 31416 De Juan Jose Calatayud

Review by Kevon Simpson

Trio 31416's self-titled album is a stunning display of musical talent and creativity. Led by the virtuosic guitar playing of Juan Jose Calatayud, the trio weaves together elements of jazz, flamenco, and Latin music to create a sound that is both complex and accessible.

The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, with each track showcasing the trio's impeccable musicianship. From the frenetic energy of "Samba de los Muertos" to the haunting beauty of "Lullaby for a Lost Love," the album is a journey through a wide range of emotions and moods.

One of the standout tracks is "La Tarara," a traditional Spanish folk song that the trio transforms into a mesmerizing display of rhythmic complexity and melodic invention. Calatayud's guitar work is particularly impressive here, as he effortlessly navigates the song's intricate rhythms and delivers a series of breathtaking solos.
