about

The idea of recording this album began during my (Chacal del Tamborazo) trip through Mexico at the end of December 2023 when I was playing some concerts in Chapala with Juan Castañon and on one of those days we were listening to his new production titled INTERSTELLAR NAO 4TET where Juan Castañon, Itzam Cano, Gabriel Lauber and Rick Countryman recorded at the Sismo Studios of my colleague double bassist and improviser Luis Ortega located in Coyoacàn, Mexico City, at that moment the idea came to me to take some recordings with me to my country of residence which is Canada, with friends and improvising musicians that I admire. This is the second of the five productions titled PORQUE TODO ES UNO (BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS ONE) that were made during my stay in Mexico that I hope you enjoy like I did where music, friendship and art dance hand in hand in every sound of this improvised music session.

Remi Álvarez- alto sax
Itzam Cano - double bass
Chacal del Tamborazo - drums

All composition by Remi Álvarez

A few days before the recording I thought about writing some compositions for the trio. I used the “first thought, best thought” technique. In that way I wrote my ideas, which resulted in six compositions. Inocente and 2-3 are dedicated to Jimmy Lyons and David S. Ware respectively. Reflejos is a composition with a Mexican/African character.
The entirety of this music has the aspiration that it be for the benefit of all beings.
Emmaho!!!
May everything be auspicious!!!

Recorded January 22, 2023 at Sismo Studio, Mexico city by Luis Ortega. Mixed and mastered by Luis Ortega.

Cover design - Chacal del Tamborazo

Executive production - The Chacal del Tamborazo Recordings and NobleProg Mexico

This album is dedicated to all those who are in all things and who create themselves, the beginning of everything that exists and the great cosmic substance of eternal movement and infinite space. At the beginning of intelligence, organizer of chaos, harmonizer of life and protector of nature.
Dedicated to the Tloque Nahuaque.

I want to thank everyone who made this sound journey possible, to my mother, father and siblings for being part of my life and especially Izabela for her unconditional support.

“May all beings that exist, weak or strong, long, large, medium, short, small or thick.
May all beings that exist, known or unknown, near or far, born or unborn, may all beings without exception be happy.
Let no one deceive or despise another person anywhere, let no one wish harm to others in anger.
Just as a mother protects her only daughter or son at the cost of her own life, in the same way one must cultivate a limitless heart towards all beings.
May thoughts of love fill the whole world. Up, down and throughout, without any obstruction, without hatred, without enmity.
Standing, walking, sitting or lying down, while awake, one should cultivate this meditation of love. Her life will bring heaven to Earth. “Namu Amida Butsu.”
