«Montreux Jazz Solo Piano Competition» 2003 & «Tete Montoliu» Spain 2005

Solo & Duo

I started playing classical piano, studying at the Conservatory of Bilbao with Agustin Vergara, Mercedes Albaina, Paloma Aristegui and Ignacio Amman, and I played actively in local rock and pop bands as a teenager. Then I went on to study...

Post-bop americano, flamenco and latin, ECM and grooves of Rock, Funk and Soul.

Trío

I’ve been playing in a trio setting since my professional debut in Paris in 1996, where I used to play weekly at the club “Studio des Islettes”, with Jo Quitzke on drums and Sebastien Gastine on Double-Bass...

Afro-American Jazz and Latin Jazz (Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and Flamenco) are major influences in my musical writing.

Blue & Latin 6-tet

The dynamics, the groove, and a varied yet cohesive repertoire are some of the defining qualities of this sextet. The aim is to communicate, connect, and enjoy playing music that can transport and delight both the seasoned listener and the newcomer alike.
