One of Pere Soto’s main sources of inspiration is bebop music and its language. In this recording project, he wanted to pay tribute to saxophonist Charlie Parker, one of the main protagonists of this jazz musical style. They called him“Bird” for his voracious appetite for chicken, which he called “Yardbird,” but I’d like to think it was for his ability to fly through improvisation, creativity, and real-time composition.
Pere Soto also pays tribute to another key figure in jazz, saxophonist John Coltrane, in the songs “I Remember Coltrane” and “Goofy Likes 26-2.”
