A couple weeks ago, when I was on vacation, I had the opportunity to do something I've wanted to do for a long time: go to a jazz club in Paris. We knew nothing about the person playing except that his music was described as "flamenco jazz". As it turned out, that person was the pianist Dorantes, accompanied by drums, bass, and on one song, a flamenco guitarist. They were fantastic! The club was absolutely packed and I was sitting behind Dorantes, so close I could have patted him on the back, totally transfixed by the way his hands flew across the keys. Amazing, amazing playing. Even aside from the guest guitarist the music really did sound like jazz with a distinct flamenco influence, both in terms of the rhythm and the way he plays piano.

Anyway, here's an example of him playing with a much larger band that's also pretty damn good:
