Suso Saiz 5CD

Suso Saiz was born in Cádiz in 1957. He made his first moves in music playing in a folk band in his school. Later on, he got in the jazz’ circuits at the same time he continued on his guitar studies in the Real Conservatorio de Música in Madrid. Afterwards, he studied Composition with Luis de Pablo.



In 1980 he founded, together with Maria Villa and Pedro Estevan, the historical “Orquesta de las Nubes”. Four years later he recorded his first album. Since then, Suso Saiz has became one of the most prolific and versatile Spanish artists: he has regularly collaborated with other musicians such as Javier Paixariño, Luis Eduardo Aute, Jorge Pardo, Esclarecidos/Lliso, Jorge Reyes or Steve Roach.



Apart from working on his own creations, he has also collaborated in the soundtracks of films such as “La Ardilla Roja” (directed by Julio Medem), “El Detective y la Muerte” (by Gonzalo Suárez), “África” (by Alfonso Ungría), “Novios” (by Joaquin Oristrell), “El Milagro de P.Tinto” (by Javier Fesser) and the TV series “Al Filo de lo Imposible”. He has also recently been nominated for a Goya Award for Best Song for his work in the original soundtrack of the film “El Arte de Morir” directed by Álvaro Fernández Armero.



This many-sided artist shows his unsettled broadmindedness above all in his facet as a guitarist and also in works such as the album “Suspended Memories: Forgotten Gods”, composed by Steve Roach, Jorge Reyes and Saiz himself. This album was awarded, in 1994, as Best Instrumental Album by the N.A.R.Y.D. Besides, “Distance Look”, one of the tracks of the album, was included in the soundtrack of the film “Rapa Nui” (Kevin Reynolds).
