jazzopen 2024: Marco Mezquida
In the organizer's words:
Born in Menorca in 1987, Marco Mezquida, the versatile pianist, improviser and composer, embodies musical passion and is celebrated as one of the most vibrant figures on the Spanish jazz scene. Described as a "child prodigy", "piano wizard" and "magnetic", he has received several awards, including being named Musician of the Year four times by the "Asociación De Músicos de Jazz y Moderna de Cataluña". Recipient of the BMW Welt Jazz Award, both from the jury and the audience, Mezquida's solo piano concerts present a picture of one-man orchestras with joyful performances and musical experimentation. His innovative approach involves incorporating sounds directly from the strings of the piano and creating unique textures. With a captivating blend of harmonies, vitality and influences from tangos, flamencos and bulerias, Mezquida infuses his music with a special touch of folklore. Rooted in modern jazz, he transcends traditional influences to present his inventive musical style. Collaborating with international flamenco and jazz artists, Mezquida crosses genre boundaries and presents a remarkably diverse palette of expressions.
