Catalan pianist Xavi Torres is one of the most outstanding and promising musicians on the new Spanish jazz scene. His music is characterized by a great variety of styles and textures, and his live shows are a must-see for any jazz fan.
His original compositions fuse the groove of an Argentinian chacarera with the harmony of Mahler, or African rhythms with the modes of Messiaen. He is an expert at combining what appear to be musical contrasts in such a way that the music becomes something else entirely: an original, organic style of his own.
Torres' latest solo piano album Curiosity (Just Listen Records, 2019) received the Enderrock Award in the category of "Jazz Album of the Year” in 2019, right on the heels of his participation in the finals of the prestigious Thelonious Monk Jazz Piano Competition in Washington DC.
He has performed at festivals and clubs on four continents, such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Cape Town Jazz Festival, Yaroslavl Jazz Festival, Siena Jazz, Umbria Jazz Festival, PortaJazz and Bimhuis, and now he performs at Jazz I Am in Barcelona.
