Mezquida stands out as one of the most brilliant, versatile, and distinctive voices on the Spanish music scene, possessing a personal style that transcends genres to seamlessly span jazz, classical, improvisation, folk, flamenco, fado, contemporary music, and pop. <i data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"414\">Rhapsody &amp; Blues<\/i> continues by intertwining classic Dave Brubeck pieces with Gershwin&#8217;s famous ballads and iconic hits by Queen, the legendary rock band led by Freddie Mercury. <i data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"590\">Blue Rondo \u00e0 la Turk<\/i>, <i data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"612\">Bohemian Rhapsody<\/i>, <i data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"631\">Blue Shadows On The Street<\/i>, <i data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"659\">Summertime<\/i>, <i data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"671\">Love Of My Life<\/i>, and the lesser-known yet equally breathtaking <i data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"734\">You Take My Breath Away<\/i> weave together with surprising ease and convincing fluid power.
