Kyle Eastwood’s concert at the X Jazz Palencia Festival

“Although Kyle Eastwood made a few screen appearances when he was younger, he decided to pursue jazz when he was well past his teens. While composing several scores for his father Clint Eastwood (Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby and Letters From Iwo Jima), he confirmed his career as a musician over the years. So far, he has a dozen albums to his credit as a leader. As a double bassist and bassist, he has remained faithful to a traditional, melodic approach to jazz, which he often enriches with lyrical embellishments. “Movies are my second passion,” he confesses. So it seemed only natural that his quintet would now turn to film soundtracks.

On this occasion, Kyle Eastwood comes to Palencia to present his new project Eastwood by Eastwood, based on the same repertoire of music from Clint’s films, but performed as a quintet. “The Eiger Sanction” composed by John Williams for Clint Eastwood, “Ruthless” and “On the Road to Madison” composed by Lennie Niehaus, “Gran Torino” and “Letter from Iwo Jima” composed by Kyle Eastwood and Michael Stevens, “Dirty Harry” and “Magnum Force” composed by Lalo Schiffrin, “Memoirs of Our Fathers” composed by Clint Eastwood and arranged by Kyle Eastwood, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “A Fistful of Dollars” composed by Ennio Morricone will be some of the songs he will perform with his quintet. “
