SHORT
\nAlbert Cirera<\/strong> is a mature, adventurous, risky, and brave musician who throughout his career has walked countless paths; he has always been driven by his need to explore new languages in the lands of classical jazz, free jazz or free improvisation, merely to prove that music is not a simple matter of style but of experience.<\/p>\n

Cirera is currently one of the most eclectic and exceptional Iberian saxophonists. He is strongly connected to Portugal, and Lisbon, a city where he lived for five years.
