Venturing into the world of Vampyria by Tete Montoliu is like stepping into a rich tapestry of musical genres and emotions. Released on January 31, 2007, under Nuevos Medios S. A., this album is a captivating blend of bolero, hard bop, Latin jazz, and jazz, all woven together in a 44-minute journey that showcases Montoliu's virtuosity and versatility.
The album opens with the soothing "Cançó De Bressol, Pt. 1," setting a gentle tone that contrasts with the dynamic "Ligeia" and "Stonehenge," where Montoliu's hard bop influences shine. The bolero elements come to the fore in tracks like "Mirando Al Caballo Claro" and "Blues Para El Pianista Desconocido," adding a touch of romance and melancholy.
Montoliu's mastery of Latin jazz is evident in tracks like "Moyenne Girl" and "Marcha Fúnebre," where rhythmic complexity meets soulful expression. The album also features a series of "Cançó De Bressol" tracks, each offering a unique interpretation of the lullaby theme, showcasing Montoliu's range and depth.
"Tristesses De La Lune" and "L'invitation au voyage" add a touch of poetic introspection, while "Cançó De Bressol, Pt. 4" brings the album to a serene close. Throughout Vampyria, Tete Montoliu's piano playing is both technically impressive and deeply expressive, making this album a standout in his discography and a treasure for jazz enthusiasts.
