This is a wonderful new jazz album. Composer and guitarist Juan Calderón had this to say about the recording of the album I wanted to record in Bogota because of the cultural debt I owe the city for the period of wandering I spent in it before leaving Colombia. It was a short; yet deeply influential; time where I studied classical guitar; but mostly explored the city in all it's cultural facets. This recording serves as my window back in time to explore what could have been had I chosen to stay behind. Album Tracks 1. Raining in Teusaquillo [08 13] 2. Cinquecento [04 29] 3. The Meanwhile [06 45] 4. Bridge Burner [04 55] 5. Fragmented Memories [06 52] 6. The Cloud Watchers [08 35]
