This disc is a meeting of minds of two musicians with a shared love of jazz manouche. Two friends who have played together in concerts and sessions for years have finally recorded their own 'coincidences'. A selection of songs where guitar and harmonica pay sincere homage to swing. With numbers by maestro Django Reinhardt, popular tunes and their own compositions. An innovative format with Valentí's masterly guitar lighting the way for Joan Pau's diatonic harmonica, fully establishing it as an instrument in this field. And together they offer us a unique and evocative musical approach.
Rollin' and Tumblin' includes 14 representative themes of J.P.Cumellas & M.Talavera duo, most of them original compositions.

They walk through different styles ranging from acoustic classic blues or Chicago shuffle besides some jazz, celtic or melodic tunes with a good taste and great skill. This album includes tracks recorded with a band where Joan Pau and Miguel are surrounded by some excellent musicians and friends.
