Ottawa Citizen / Jazzblog.ca, December 4, 2013
On his latest CD Jogo, Montreal guitarist Carlos Jiménez has the compositions of jazz geniuses and Brazilian greats in his mind.(…)with his crisp and appealing improvising, Jiménez makes the songs his own.(…) Jiménez’s tunes are in no way overshadowed by the presence of Monk, Evans and Shorter pieces around them — which is saying something.

Jiménez is obviously a technically proficient guitarist and is capable of working creatively and effortlessly within a trio format, emphasizing the harmonic progressions by skillfully dropping chords in and amongst his deft single line work to maintain a sense of the harmonic architecture of the pieces.
