New musician portrait: Jordi Nico

I know my friend Nico since we were teenagers. We spent lots of adventures together. He also made me understand the beauty of jazz.
Nico is a great sax player and composer. His work with the Barcelona based group Tropopausa has been a reference in the experimental jazz of the 80s.
Today, he keeps playing better than ever, and he runs a successful company of royalty free music.
