Showcase 🟢 CARMEN VELA🟢

🪈 is a flautist, clarinettist and composer from Madrid. En continuo is her second album, a powerful and timely project. Music that tells cosmopolitan stories through the harmonies of jazz, urban music that blends perfectly with Carmen Vela’s quartet, creating its own sonority that weaves its way between punchy, forceful sounds and the subtle texture of woodwind. She creates poetic melodies that play with different rhythms to create a lively music.

〰️ En continuo is a concept in movement. Evolution, fusion, exploration and enjoyment come together in a contemporary jazz setting but with the occasional nod to swing and classical Latin.

🟢 ANDRES COLL COSMIC TRIO🟢

, born in Ibiza, is a multifaceted vibraphonist with an acute and wide-ranging musical sense, a virtuoso performer with a stoic commitment to art. Coll has quietly matured as a performer, composer and researcher, devoting himself as much to prehistoric music, as to Bach, Bartók, contemporary music, modern jazz or free improvisation.

〰️Andrés Coll Cosmic Trio brings together a nucleus of musicians who combine research into the folk music of their own cultures with improvisation and the spirit of innovation. 🪇The fusion of folklore and the avant-garde creates vibrant music filled with energy and dynamism, which is also fresh, joyful and original.

⚡️We’re excited to share that the recent tour with austrian trio other:M:other was a huge success!

🫱🏻‍🫲🏼This tour —a collaborative project between Jazz I am and co-programmers , , and , and co-producers and — brought the energy of experimental jazz and rhythm-driven beats to our Catalonian stages, pushing the boundaries of genre and thrilling fans along the way.

🥁The Austrian trio .m.other , formed by Judith Schwarz, .dillier and , aims to create a rhythmic symbiosis of sound. Acoustic and electronic sounds blend seamlessly, forming percussive networks of impulses that draw from both experimental music and rhythm-based club music. With unconventional instrumentation, extended playing techniques, and a free improvisational approach, they push the boundaries of musical genres and excel at translating their unique sonic language across a wide range of stages, concert formats, and stylistic contexts.

💫From Jazz Cava Vic to Sala Torin Olot and FiraB Mallorca, each performance showcased the trio’s mesmerizing fusion of acoustic and electronic sound, leaving audiences captivated and inspired.
