"An inventive and often dazzling pianist" Ian Mann (The http://www.Jazzman.com)
Juan Galiardo hails from Seville in Spain; after studying music and graduating from Cadiz University he gained a scholarship to study at the famous Berklee College of Music in Boston, while there he was mentored by US jazz stars; Barry Harris, Danilo P rez, Joe Lovano, Joanne Brackeen & Edward Tomassi.
He also got to perform with a number of top American names during this period including saxophonists Jerry Bergonzi and Donny McCaslin. He later went on to tour and record with these guys.
Juan is a really superb jazz musician in the mainstream jazz genre, and this will be his third UK visit. His first was in 2014 as part of the Arturo Serra Quartet who toured throughout Europe, and included touring Wales in 2013, as part of an Arts Council Wales project'Espa a Cymru', organised by Brecon Jazz Club & Jazz Live Cymru.
It is a continuation of that scheme in conjunction with Brecon Jazz Club (BJC) that brings Juan back this time. I encountered the folks from BJC at a recent Jazz Promotion Network meeting in Bristol and managed to hook up a gig for Juan to come to Bristol.
Tonight he is supported by two young Welsh jazz musicians; leading graduates of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama specialist Jazz Performance degree programme
'Galiardo coaxed consistently inventive, adventurous and frequently feverish solos I was highly impressed with his playing "
Ian Mann live & CD review: http://www.tinyurl.com/gvkb67q , May 2014
It will be mainstream lyrical jazz that really swings; a classic jazz trio, piano-led, by a talented artist with a subtle touch.
