This band must be one of the best Symphonic prog performers nowadays. These are four extremely talented musicians that took the best lessons from classic bands, like YES, ELP, among others adding a lot of other genres like folk, metal basically. This is a great addition to any progressive music collection.
Jaime Rosas is a Chilean composer, keyboard player and psycologist. Consisting of former members of the Chilean prog band ENTRANCE, the JAIME ROSAS TRIO is a keyboard power trio a la ELP, Wakeman or the final UK lineup, though their bassist does play some guitar. "Extremos" (2004) is their 2nd CD, a mostly-instrumental affair. It mixes predominantly fast, high-energy, technically-adept classical rock workouts with a few breathers centered around classical piano. The material is well-composed and not just flash and bombast. With "Creciendo" (2005), they've added a guitarist (Javier Sepulveda) to become a quartet (And Then There Were Four?). This album is again heavily instrumental, with quality vocals both wordless and in Spanish. Much of the instrumental material is in a high-energy, fast and demonstrative symphonic prog style, leaving no doubt that JRC can play. The electric guitar gives this material a harder edge. But this is balanced by more sensitive tracks employing vocals and acoustic guitar. Rosas' keyboards are still the highlight, often very classically influenced. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
