Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion is world class global chamber music making that explodes the parameters of style, yet ever remains close to the heart.
~ David Balakrishnan, founding violinist/composer of the two-time Grammy winning Turtle Island Quartet
While the groups music seems firmly rooted in jazz tradition, their keen (almost telepathic) sense of interaction, openness to eclectic cultural influences, freedom to innovate, and attention to timbral contrast make it into a gorgeous global chamber music performance emphasizing beauty, elegance and intricacy.
