One of the best of the current Shadows-style instrumental guitar bands from Spain, Los Jets put out their 40 Aniversario CD in 2003. With a history of recordings dating back to their first big hit, “Zorongo” in 1961, it’s great to be able to report Los Jets are still going strong. Featuring the talents of their drummer of 22 years, Eduardo Bartrina and original Los 4 Jets guitarist Santiago Gonzales—who formed the band in 1958 with his brother Jose Maria—40 Aniversario may very well be their best album yet. Filled with intriguing originals, new covers of fabled Shadows classics (“The Miracle”, “Peace Pipe”) and new reworkings of guitar-based classics like “Fly Me To The Moon”, “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “How Deep Is Your Love”, 40 Aniversario is a mature, compelling work by expert musicmakers. www.LosJets.com |
