      After hitting the Spanish Jazz scene in 2013 with their debut album Live From Infinity (in many ways, a very special & groundbreaking work, recorded live in audio and video in a way that so far, very rarely seen in Spain and that since has been widely imitated), PATAX, one of the most innovative and unorthodox Neo Jazz bands emerging from the current spanish scene, brings us a bombshell with this fantastic new album: the best of the best of their extensive collection of tasty, colorful and highly original cover versions from the glorious legacy of one of the most colossal Popular Music artists of all time: Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop” .

      PATAX offers radically hedonistic reinterpretations of legendary hits such as Billie Jean, Black or White, Smooth Criminal o Man in the Mirror, as fascinating for its patent respect to the original version, as for the addition of exuberant Latin Jazz, Salsa, Flamenco and other exotic elements which provide unusual flavours & colors to this explosive combination. Also, is the intense energy of the group of musicians constantly boiling, formed by some of the brightest talents of the latest wave of Jazz, Flamenco and Afrobeat "Made In Spain" (Federico Lechner, Alana Sinkey, Alain Pérez, Israel Sandoval, Lidón Patiño, Georvis Pico, Roberto Pacheco, Chuma Segura, Valentín Iturat, Jorge Vera, Marcos Collado, Fabrizio Scarafile, Pedro Medina, Carlos Sánchez, Dani Morales, Rafael Águila, Raúl Gil, Tomás Merlo, Daniel García…), all spectacularly directed, as usual, by the great Jorge Pérez.

      Magic moments, amazing improvisations and collective trances hard to believe without watching the fantastic video recordings that were made of those “descargas”. It is not for nothing that prior to the album's release, these recordings already exceed by far one million views on YouTube!

      A brave, risky and above all, highly enjoyable project. The talent, quality & originality of today’s best Jazz, walking hand in hand with Pop’s most sophisticated, restless and danceable contemporary top production. Michael would be proud... and probably would be “moonwalking” a la Rumba. Get up, get up, get up…
