Javi HERRERA is a composer and drummer from Barcelona. I met quite a few Prog rock guys from Spain when I was over inTenerife. There are a lot of really talented Spanish artists who remain hidden in the depths of Spain. I particularly loved flamenco type guitar playing that featured in a lot of stuff I heard there.
Herrera's music iis a kind of symphonic prog music, but also contains strong jazz fusion flavorings. The first album is called, "No Tengas Miedo", and was released last May. He's a really talented guy and this album is unusual and rather nice. not a 'usual' type of Prog rock but very interesting.
It's quite variable in style with a jazz feel at times, at other times more rock orientated and then also, orchestral with some lovely use of the oboe and cor-anglais. It's a lovely, relaxing listen.
