Travesuras

Travesuras

“Jazz and flamenco are brothers,” says Daniel García Diego, one of the leading pianists of the young generation of Spanish jazz musicians. For his album Travesuras he immersed himself in the music of his native country, combining it with the vocabulary of the modern piano trio with exceptional energy and virtuosity. The result is an expressive idiosyncratic style coupling rhythmical intensity with melodic richness and harmonic finesse.

Daniel García Diego (Salamanca, 1983) studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston and was taught by Panamanian Grammy winner Danilo Pérez, who gained world fame as a pianist with Wayne Shorter. Pérez became his mentor and played a key part in his development.
