here’s a real treat: the showcase performances from the 2020 jazz i am in barcelona. most of the showcases are from discópolis jazz on rtve radio 3, except one. the 12 showcases were around 30 minutes each, so it’s fairly long in total, but of course you can listen in bite-sized half-hour segments. and if you like the musicians, i have (as always) provided convenient links. all of josé miguel lopez’s comments are included, and are generally very interesting as always.
no samples – i’d need to do a dozen, in fairness! and, exceptionally, this is all in the original mp3 (or, for one showcase, the original aac) format. btw, none of the url’s below are setup as links, but some seem to have turned into links, i don’t know why.

https://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/discopolis-jazz/11310-berta-moreno-jazz-am-y12-smack-dab/5898212/
comments
an arpa legüera is “a percussion/string instrument that evokes the sounds of a charango, african kora, and
asian koto…. invented and crafted by franco pinna in 2013”, according to https://www.duochuno.com/arpaleguera
which also has photos of the construction of the first arpa legüera.
josé miguel refers to smack dab as “smack daff”, which is a real madrideño (maybe general castellaño?) pronunciation,
as in a pub is a “puff”. my spanish friends entirely deny that this “ff” pronunciation even exists.

this performance was downloaded from theyoutube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y4lzrpjy3m as the
discópolis blog (# 11209 “jazz i am 6: irene reig trio”) doesn’t have the .mp3 file due to some
error ( https://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/discopolis-jazz/jazz-am-6-irene-reig-trio-27-03-21/5824289/
