Carles Benavent: Un, Dos, Tres (2011)

Carles Benavent was born in 1954 in the Poble Sec neighborhood in Barcelona. A totally self taught jazz bassist, he founded the group, "Musica Urbana" with whom he recorded two albums. He came to create a new form of playing the electric bass "Flamenco style", using the pick to create a special type of alzapua (style of plucking the strings with the finger and pick). He is one of the priveleged geniuses that is sought out by a long list of artists such as Chick Corea, Miles Davis and Paco de Lucia (to name a few), and with the ladder he recorded "Paco de Lucia interperpreta a Manuel de Falla". Since then the interaction between the two musicians has been consistent and fruitful.
