Carles Benavent was born in 1954 in the Poblé Sec neighborhood in Barcelona. A totally self taught jazz bassist, he founded the group, "Música Urbana" with whom he recorded two albums. He came to create a new form of playing the electric bass "Flamenco style", using the pick to create a special type of alzapúa (style of plucking the strings with the finger and pick). He is one of the priveleged geniuses that is sought out by a long list of artists such as Chick Corea, Miles Davis and Paco de Lucía (to name a few), and with the ladder he recorded "Paco de Lucía interperpreta a Manuel de Falla". Since then the interaction between the two musicians has been consistent and fruitful.

Although early training focused on the piano, Neuhaus was quick to observe his young student's potential as a composer. While in Elisavetgrad, Szymanowski was introduced to the German classics as well as to Chopin and Scriabin. After studies with Noskowski in Warsaw from 1903 to 1905, Szymanowski lived for a time in Berlin, helping to found ……
