My two favorites have already been mentioned. Melchor is by far my favorite of the “old school” guys, and I think he’s particularly great in the slow, jondo type stuff solea, siguiriyas, fandangos too. His tone, his sensitivity, dynamics, the way he plays around with empty space to dramatic effect, it’s all so good. Cepero’s my absolute fave when it comes to upbeat stuff like bulerias and tangos. Super tight and funky, lot’s of space, and a lot of creative, playful falsetas. I’m starting to come to a late appreciation of Parilla de Jerez. I’ve always known that he’s one of the greats, but he used to sound more “generically” Jerez to my ears, unlike someone like Cepero whose sound and toque are instantly recognizable to me. But I’m now starting to get my ear around Parilla and he’s becoming a favorite in all the Jerez stuff, bulerias, tientos, siguiriyas, etc. I won’t bother to post any links since you can just plug these guys’ names into youtube and whatever you get will be fantastic.
