In this album, Five verses, Carlos Zaragoza shows his commitment to the evolution of the saxophone by expanding its sound possibilities. In addition, with the collaboration of pianist Kishin Nagai, they highlight the music-poetry binomial by bringing together five pieces written in the last hundred years and linked to original texts in four different languages: French, German, English, and Spanish. The lyrical and expressive quality of Zaragoza’s playing, as well as his mastery of technique, make the saxophone interpolate the listener as if they were “singing” the inspirational verses of each text through his distinctive voice.
