This thread is intended to be informative, not controversial. Published in 2008 by Melbay, this is the first of the four books of the CD Andalucian Suite, released in 1995. It contains four pieces of music in standard notation and in cifra, written by long-time associate Patrick Campbell: 1. Evocacion de la Invasion Arabe AD 711 (Zambra Mora) 2. La Feria (Rumba) (the smash-hit rumba) 3. Alborada (Milonga) 4. Gitanos (Bulerias) Like most Juan's books, the print quality and accuracy are both excellent. I shall refrain from commenting on the quality of the music as I'm sure most members are better than I am to put a judgement on this. I shall instead bring out a few details from the introduction which I have never read from other sources about Juan, using my own words as I do not have the expressed permission from the publisher to quote. 1. Juan, at the age of 17, performed in a film called "Donde tu estés", filmed in the Malaga region. 2. Nino Ricardo was a good friend and mentor. 3. Juan was a regular visitor at the home of Paco de Lucia. For those who are interested, the book comes with an accompanying CD of the four pieces at a bargain price of £12.56, you can search around and be able to find it at a more bargain price of £6.95. The CD is still available for £7.98.
