Jorge Pardo is a musician from Spain who is famous for playing the saxophone. But the sax is just one of the instruments he has mastered, and one of the many more he includes in his compositions.

Pardo believes the sound of each instrument delivers a different message. And when those different sounds are combined, they create a new language.

It’s one of the reasons he is also considered a pioneer of the innovative musical form called “flamenco-jazz fusion.”
