   About Carlos Lopez-Real
latest news:


The 'Mandorla' album is out now on the F-IRE label.

(above tracks taken from this album)


If you like what you hear, can I encourage you to buy it direct from my website rather than from somewhere like itunes (where only a tiny fraction of what you pay actually goes to the artist). This will help fund a second album. Thanks!



Quotes:

"Carlos plays with a sound that comes from his soul" - David Liebman

"Very impressive debut... Lopez-Real's engaging alto/soprano sax playing sounds at times like a breezy variation of the vocabulary of Steve Coleman" Selwyn Harris, Jazzwise

"The fun Mandorla had making this album practically jumps out of the speakers. Gorgeously lyrical and infectiously rhythmic." Chris May, All About Jazz

“Lopez-Real's saxophone sound is always cogent, his choice of texture and use of the full dynamic range of his instruments impressive throughout.” Chris Parker, Vortex review
