Info for Trabalenguas

The young pianist and composer Ester Quevedo presents Trabalenguas, her debut album as a leader, recorded live at the Aurora theatre in June 2019 during the l’Estival de Jazz d’Igualada jazz festival.

As an active participant in the Barcelona jazz scene, Ester Quevedo has surrounded herself with a kindred group of musicians, whose interplay and good taste are on display in her project.

Her compositions are based on intervals, rhythmic games, and harmonies that draw on her experiences and find homogeneity in the group, highlighted by the sonorities of Òscar Latorre on trumpet and Vincent Pérez on trombone, supported by the solid rhythmic foundation of Pau Sala and Roger Gutiérrez.
