The person behind Jabir is Francisco Javier Sánchez González (Madrid, 1943). This is his solo project and certainly a rare breed among the different artists on Discos Esplendor Geométrico. Throughout the years, his recordings have become highly sought-after items among record collectors and djs, particularly for a younger generation fascinated by the convergence between synthetic digital sounds and traditionally reminiscent atmospheres, very much in line with the concept of Fourth World put forward by Jon Hassell. Hence, Vuelos por las altura de Alhambra, with the exception of Jorge Reyes’ Niérika, is a rara avis within Discos Esplendor Geométrico’s catalogue. Despite having received classical musical training, studying piano and violin in Madrid’s conservatory, like many other young musicians from his generation, he experienced an epiphany while listening to John Coltrane’s My favourite things in the early 1960’s.
