Luis Clemente, May 1999

One of the best examples of contemporary instrumental flamenco is to be found on ‘Calima’, the fifth release by Gerardo Núñez: a native of Jerez in New York. In that American city he recorded a new number that opens the record and gives it its name:a long number of jazz-soleá-por-bulerías played with Danilo Pérez and John Patucci. There's also a divertimento-rumba with two icons of American flamenco, Strunz and Farah. But the impression that he seemed to be concentrating on the American market is diminished on hearing the soleares dedicated to Jerez or the masterfully played granaína.
