Four Kats Jazz Quartet - Miaow (1995)

The Four Kats Jazz Quartet is probably the most remarkable example of this generation of daring, enthusiastic Catalan jazzmen who were then still quite young. The group was made up of musicians of truly exceptional quality, such as the versatile Oriol Bordas on vibraphone, Ignasi Terraza on piano, David Mengual on double bass and, from America, Jerry Moye on drums.

Ignasi Terraza Trio - Jazz à Les Fosques (2009)

(click cover to enlarge)

The whole record has a diversity of proposals, very appropriate to be heard in different contexts, and one of the key pieces to approach the figure of Ignasi Terraza. Here we can find combined moments of great emotion and sensitivity in I remember Clifford- with others with a strong sense of swing –Love for sale- or the contrast of overflowing virtuosity -September song- with great restraint and control of the silence and medium tempos -Our love is here to stay. (Swit records)
