Pedro Iturralde (1929–2020) was a pioneering Spanish jazz saxophonist, composer, and educator celebrated for blending jazz with traditional flamenco music. A virtuoso on multiple instruments, he led ensembles at Madrid’s Whisky Jazz Club and collaborated with luminaries across genres, shaping the evolution of European jazz. As a professor at the Madrid Royal Conservatory, he influenced generations of musicians. Iturralde’s groundbreaking work—such as his *Jazz Flamenco* recordings—cemented his legacy as a visionary who bridged cultures through innovation, technical mastery, and expressive artistry.
